Bunker in Bunken Klitplantage

In the year 1944, the Germans established a number of smaller coastal batteries with light concrete structures, to bridge the gaps between the larger heavily fortified installations. One of these batteries was well hidden between the dunes and pine trees of Bunken plantation. Today you can see the majority of the 13 bunkers and clearly see how they were adapted to the surrounding nature. When visiting the site today, it is difficult to imagine that at one time around 110 German soldiers lived here.
