Tips for trip

After Hitler came into power along with rise of fascism, Czechoslovakia started building a defence system on its border. Afterwards, the German army used it in accordance with the Munich Agreement. In the 1950s almost all the bunkers were a part of the buffer zone behind the barbed fence and not accessible to the public. Originally, there were 5,832 bunkersin Czechoslovakia. Currently, the best preserved ones include B-S-1 “Štěrkoviště” (in Jelení háj across the mouth of Karloveské rameno, which is a distributary of the Danube), B-S-2 “Mulda”, B-S-3 “Paseka” (both are deeper in the forest), B-S-4 “Lány” (close to the bike trail next to the Berg border crossing) and B-S-8 “Hřbitov” (close to Kopčianska street in Petržalka, next to the WWI cemetery). It is interesting to note that Eva Braun and Hitler were once in this bunker. There is even a photograph to document this as evidence.
