OVERVIEW:
Czechoslovak border fortifications were built from 1935 to 1938 as a defensive countermeasure against the rising threat of Nazi Germany. The objective of the fortifications was to prevent the taking of key areas by an enemy—not only Germany but also Hungary and Poland—by means of a sudden attack before the mobilization of the Czechoslovak Army could be completed.

Due to Munich betrayal in 1938, the Czechoslovak Republic had no option but to surrendered Sudetenland followed in 1939 by Hitler’s take over of the city of Prague, immediately dividing the country intoProtectorates of Bohemia and Moravia along with the Nazi puppet state of Slovakia.

Several of the defensive Artillery Forts were fortunate enough to be completed before the Nazis took control and it is now possible to visit them during the tourist season from the beginning of May till the end of October. The most famous are Hanicka Artillery Fort and The Stachelberg Fortress also known as Ježová Hora. One of the largest fortresses in the Czech Republic, it was built as a complex of 12 bunkers between 1937 and 1938 as a Czechoslovak fort. However, the process of construction was stopped due to the Munich Agreement in 1938.
