Trenches – Machine Gun Nests and Anti-Tank Ditches

Built between 1944 and 1945, these military structures were part of a defensive line intended to protect the anticipated German Reich. Prisoners of war, along with local residents of all ages, were forced to participate in their construction. Today, the trenches and fortifications remain freely accessible, although the passage of time has made many of their interior spaces inaccessible. Take the opportunity to visit the northernmost village in Slovakia and discover this historically significant region beneath Babia hora.
