"Arpad Lines" Bunker
Castle / fortress , Museum / gallery
The "Arpad Line" bunker in Verkhnia Hrabivnytsia is a World War II military defense facility built by the Hungarians under the guidance of the Germans.
Excavated in the thickness of the mountain at a depth of 50 to 100 meters by two battalions of captured Romanians. The bunker has 3 tiers, 4 exits to the surface and an extensive system of pillboxs. The length of the tunnels is about 2 kilometers. There is a source of clean water underground.
During the war, the bunker was used as a hospital, food and ammunition storage, etc.
According to some sources, this is the largest military bunker in Europe that has survived to this day. Presumably, it was supposed to house a tank of the 1st Hungarian Army.
Currently, the bunker attracts tourists, tours are held.
