Atlantic Wall

The Atlantic Wall, long-term fortifications built by the Germans during the Second World War after they captured France. The wall, over 4,000 km long, stretched along the Atlantic coast from Denmark to the border with Spain.

We managed to visit here, among the remaining bunkers.

Unfortunately, most of the bunkers are sealed with iron doors and cannot be entered. However, we did find a way into one of them. It was, of course, dark and damp inside. Fortunately, we had flashlights. We made out an old German inscription above the doorway.

The place is very beautiful. A hilly plain stretching out to the sea. And bunkers, bunkers. Of different kinds and shapes.

By the way, surfers have taken a liking to this place. Their tents were pitched not far from the huge sandy beach. In general, you can easily stay overnight here, completely free of charge (without paying for camping). Too bad we didn’t know that. We noticed several caravans peacefully resting here.
