Stachleberg
"Stachelberg formed part of the border fortification against Hitler's Germany. It was unveiled in October 1937 as the largest Czechoslovak artillery fortress and one of the largest fortresses of its kind in the world. Its construction was interrupted by the Munich Agreement and the resignation of the German border in October 1938. It should have 12 objects (bunkers) connected by extensive underground. In less than a year of construction, the subterranean space was erected and a single bunker was built on the surface."
