Main artillery: Four 10 cm. K.17/04 n.A.
Ready for battle: May 1941
This battery was built at the same time as HKB 14./981 Naesje, which was positioned
just at the other side of the fjord in the hillsides over MKB 7./504 Sognefjord.
It is at the mouth of the Sognefjord, the world's longest and deepest fjord,
and the entrance to this fjord was heavily fortified by the above mentioned
batteries together with Torpedo-Batterie Rutledal
and, positioned even further out,
HKB 16./981 Risenaes.
There are several small bunkers, and a small unfinished
tunnel that was to be used for ammunition storage. Built by German personnel,
and a few Norwegians were building on the tunnel at the end of the war. The battery
was closed down straight after the war. Today the site is quite overgrown, but not any worse
than that you can see the objects. Some of the position and bunkers are either gone to to a road,
or they serve different purposes, as one of the Flak positions that today is
a barbeque spot in a garden.
One of the entrances to the unfinished tunnel.
One of the positions for the 10 cm. K.17/04 n.A.
A small concrete tunnel leading to one of the gun positions.
Bunker for the 5,0 cm. Kwk. that served as close defence for Torpedo-Batterie Rutledal.
