Stachelberg Artillery Fortress (Babí near Trutnov)

It was intended to be the largest fortress in the Czechoslovak border fortification system - a complex of eleven structures connected by underground tunnels up to 50 metres deep.

It was never completed, but today it offers a fascinating glimpse into history. The tour leads from a massive bunker into the underground spaces, where you can see the fortress at various stages of construction.

While you’re there, don’t miss Eliška Lookout Tower, with views of the Krkonoše Mountains and the surrounding countryside.
