In the Heia/Steinan area of Storfosna, the Germans established a network of trenches, small bunkers and defensive positions. It was probably built in a supporting role to the much larger HKB Storfosna located close by. Although very overgrown, the area is largely untouched and these remains can still be clearly seen today. These two videos are from two underground bunkers connecting machine gun nests, mortar positions etc.

One of two 60-70 meter tunells.Just south of Oslo lies this quite large bunker. It’s not quite clear what it’s original purpose is but the most likely theory I’ve heard so far is some kind of secure archive. It’s a fairly interesting and remarkably undisturbed bunker considering it’s proximity to heavily populated areas. Definitely worth a look.

A one billion Norwegian kroner fortress built on a weather beaten island on the Norwegian coast just as the cold war was coming to an end. The builders hardly had time to pack up and leave before the government decided to disband this and several other similar fortresses, abandoning them to the elements and a flock of sheep.

Bislingen Fjellstue was built in 1967 in the area north of Oslo, known as Nordmarka. It is located at the top of Bislingflaka, also known as the “roof of Nordmarka”. The hotel was open for overnight guests and had a cafeteria until fall 2008 when it was closed and sold to property developers. Next to the hotel there was established a small ski slope which helped increase the amount of visitors to Bislingen during winter. Both Bislingen fjellstue and the ski slope now sits derelict and disbanded, awaiting the municipalities decision on the application to tear it down in order to build a new larger hotel in the same spot.

(See below for Norwegian text)
Construction of Brettingen fort was started in 1897, at the same time as Hysnes and Hambåra forts which together formed the Agdenes constellation of fortifications. The construction was a part of a larger military build-up towards the dissolution of the union with Sweden in 1905. Luckily, although the army was put on a an alert and partial mobilization was enacted, no hostilities ever broke out. At least outside of the negotiation rooms 🙂

Defensive outpost

This facility formed part of what was planned to become a string of similar outposts defending a strategically important axis for an imagined attack by Soviet forces. The plans for this defensive line was drawn up during the 1980s and this facility was finished in 1995. Due to the fall of the iron curtain and the end of the cold war, the plans was eventually abandoned and in the end, only 3 of these outposts was ever built. The whole facility was eventually sold to private interests, and today sits largely unused, even though the power is on and dehumidifier is still running, keeping the complex nice and dry.
