It is a long drive through a military area after you leave the motorway. The soldier guide gave us an excellent and informative tour in very good English. The extensive bunker complex was amazing and it was very interesting to see how it had been organised and used and quite astounding that it had all been dug by hand. We were also given a good account of the history of the area at the time of the second world war and the battles in the area. After the bunker we visited the small museum at the side of the road on the way out. This had an interesting array of artefacts and photographs.
