Storage Bunker D-TC

Underground tunnels built for storage purposes. The entrances are blocked, the site is enclosed by a fence, and the grounds include a former headquarters building with a barracks. Entry into the tunnels is possible through a hole knocked through one of the doors.

An unusual type of ammunition and equipment storage, set in a valley between hills on the territory of a former military base — now entirely absorbed by a residential neighbourhood. The facility consists of two curved tunnels measuring 2.5 by 3 metres, joined at the far end and in the middle. The walls and ceiling are made of ribbed concrete panels coated on the outside with bitumen. In places, additional plastic waterproofing has been applied.

The hinges of the concrete entrance doors have been welded shut and cannot be opened. Entry is nonetheless possible through a hole broken through the concrete. On one of the doors, someone has written “mined” in charcoal — which is, of course, not true. The interior of the bunker is empty, though some metal items remain. The site is unguarded, but nearby houses mean that locals may take a dim view of strangers prowling behind the barbed wire. Adjacent to the bunker is a long underground vehicle garage with open access.
