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.

Bunker near Skagen – Vippefyret

Close to Skagen, between the Grey Lighthouse and the Vippefyr, the Germans build a large coastal artillery bunker, with four 120 mm battery guns, each in their own dedicated bunker, as well as a large number of bunkers for the troops, ammunition and tech. Today, the sea has washed away so much of the sand that half of the bunkers are positioned in the middle of the beach. The Two-storey Fire-control bunker, from where the guns were being commanded, is located in the dunes above the beach.
