Built by German personnel, O.T., and a few Norwegians. A large, nearly completed
tunnel in connection to a large control bunker ('leitstand') was built on the site.
By the end of the war the bunker was finished, but there was no electrical
equipment installed yet, so an improvised bunker served as a 'leitstand' during
the whole war. Inside the tunnels there was work going on to build personnel
accomodation. This was not completed. Today most of the gunpositions are gone
due to farmland, but there are still a few left, together with the tunnels and
the two 'leitstands'. Some of the positions are quite overgrown, but they are still
accessible. Rocks has started to fall down from the tunnel roof, which means that
the tunnels should not be accessed past the entrance to the 'leitstand' inside. It is
reasonable safe until that point, but not beyond. A bit annoying, because of some
interesting architecture in the dangerous end of the tunnel. Some parts of the site
must be accessed over private land. The lower "jaw" of the temporary built 'leitstand' has
begun to slide out, so standing underneath it might be dangerous. The big 'leitstand' is
locked, so it has to be entered through the tunnel.

From the tunnel and in towards the new 'leitstand'.
Entrance to the new 'leitstand' from outside. Also to the tunnel via the bunker.
Remaining position for 10,5 cm. K.332(f).
This 'leitstand' was used during the whole war
These gas-proof armoured doors separates the observation room from the rest of the bunker (inside the new 'leitstand').
The new control bunker ('leitstand'). Also access to the tunnel via the bunker.
The finished entrance to the tunnel. Now closed with cemented bricks where the door was.
