Bunkers near Darkovičky

In the slightly undulating landscape between Opava and Ostrava, military strategists in the 1930s expected the biggest onslaught of German troops attacking the then young Czechoslovakia.

To this day, the fields and forests in this area are dotted with concrete bunkers ranging from small shelters for a few men to actual fortresses where dozens of soldiers prepared for battle. Anyone can get an idea of how Czechoslovakia prepared for the onslaught at Darkovičky near Hlučín. One of the accessible forts is the Jaroš bunker. Over thirty men were to fight there. Near this bunker there is also a similar František fortress, which, like the Jaroš bunker, is nowadays taken care of by military history enthusiasts.

Those interested in military fortifications will be guided around the bunkers down the educational trail “Along the Line of Czechoslovak Fortifications in the Hlučín Region“.
