Stachelberg Fortress

Set off for the Stachelberg artillery fort in Babí near Trutnov. Stachelberg is one of the largest fortresses in the Czech Republic. The plan to construct a complex of 12 bunkers was interrupted by the Munich Agreement in 1938. Explore the unique and vast underground fort in an exhibition describing the history of Czechoslovak fortifications. You will also see the reconstructed portion of the system of trenches from 1938. Next to the infantry cabin is a refreshment stand. From Stachelberg you can take the Fortified Trutnovsko nature trail, which leads to other nearby fortifications.

Jaroměř

The city of Jaroměř was established in the early Middle Ages, on the confluence of the Elbe, Úpa, and Metuje rivers. A few centuries later, specifically at the end of the 17th century, the baroque fortification city of Josefov was built nearby. This was one of the last fortress cities to be built in the Bohemian territories. In the 19th century, the nature of warfare changed, and fortresses were no longer relevant. Both cities grew and are today merged into one. Together, they offer a wide range of tourist points of interest.
