During a recent visit to Norway, I found myself awaiting refreshments at the Stalheim Hotel, the vista from the hotel patio is fantastic. I started wandering to nget a better view point during the wanderings I came accross a trench cut into the rock and follwed it. Internally it was sound the view of the field of fire as you can see by the picture is superb. I have since learnt that the hotel was actually taken over by the German army. View attachment 85212
Hello, a strategic place for a heavy MG that is - the 'Lorelei' bunker ! Apparently named from the rock by the Rhine regards/
