The place where the bunker is located was<strong> a quarry<\/strong> before World War II. However, the war interrupted mining and the place was filled with water, creating a lake that is still in the bunker today.   The building was built on <strong>the premises of a former tank training area<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The rock structure<\/strong> on this site provided ideal conditions for the construction of a secret telecommunications bunker, which happened at the end of the 70s. <\/p>\n<p>All construction work was carried out under the supervision of the army and was <strong>strictly secret<\/strong>.
