Fjölöy

For those who do not know, Im big into history and very much into ww1 and ww2 history, I currently live in Stavanger Norway and I have lived there for almost 2 years now, but it was only up until today that I finaly decided to visit the old bunkers on Fjölöy (the atlantic wall, whitch is the defence Hitler built through out the atlantic,) (Fjøløy in Norwegian) ö and ø is the same letter, except ö is the version you use in Sweden (whitch im from) and also because I have a swedish keyboard.

 

Either way, visiting places with historic value is something I love to do, to some people its just damaged/ half demolished bunkers and scars about a time they want to forget.

 

I did take some pictures aswell.

 

This is of the most well preserved bunker with the battery still visible (could'nt go inside this one)

While I wasnt trying to dodge sheep poop, the scenery was amazing.

 

This was the very top of the hill/mountain, not sure what had stood there but it was cool either way, besides, LEL pictues

Like I said, visiting places with history is one of my favourite things to do. In 3 weeks im going to have a car ride back to Sweden to see relatives (12 hour car ride for the win *cries inside*) and we are then going to stop by Halden whitch is a city that contains a fortress named Fredriksten (hope I spelled that right) although that is much older history and is more centric around the fall of the swedish empire.

 

Just walking around in these places of historic significance feels very rewarding and fun for me.

 

I will most likely make a blog when ive been to Halden aswell.

 

While these bunkers were never really used to actualy deffend the citys it was still a fun place to visit.

Wow, some cool pics and a nice little write up to go with them.  :)  I have seen fortifications on the New Jersey shore that were built in anticipation of a German invasion.  They were never used either.
