Shelling

During the war, the German artillery shot four of the six objects of the fortress and tried the newly developed missiles Röchling.

"In the entrance hall you can see the original and a nice replica of the subcaliber missiles Röchling for the cannon of 150 millimeters caliber, which the Germans tried here in the winter of 1939/1940," says Pavel Minář, head of the fortress, Hanička Museum, Pavel Minář.

Visitors will also see many other remarkable exhibits - such as T34/85 tank, which became the legend of World War II, or armored personnel carrier OT 810 called Hakl after its predecessor from the German Army.

In the exhibition it is possible to see weapons used by our army in 1938 even after World War II.Another interesting feature is the well -preserved original armored elements.

It is also worth visiting an underground at a depth of up to 36 meters, where it is almost 1500 meters of corridors and halls.Equipment comes mostly from modern reconstruction.There are two times on Hanička - pre -war and socialism period.

Kahan's secret object

In 1969, although Hanička was made available to the public and in 1972 the shots for the film Otakar Vávra were filmed here, but in 1975 the fortress took the Ministry of the Interior, which under the code name of the Kahan building began to build an anti -natom cover.In the case of war, it should serve the army and the secret service as a backup workplace to ensure communication and connection.

The work here continued until 1993, but they have never been completed.As a result, a number of elements of pre -war fortifications followed by a fully technologically equipped underground shelter from the Cold War period have been preserved here.

They are preparing news

This year, visitors should see other news here.She will be the dispensing wall.“It is a steel wall construction located on the right behind the position of a howitzer.It is an element in the intention, but it was actually used only in the German tests at Adam's fortress.

If everything goes well, visitors will be able to see another of the equipment of the artillery cabin at the end of this season.In the future there will be on the wall and emergency ammunition for its own howitzer, of course again in the form of replicas, ”describes the upcoming news Pavel Minář.

In September and October they are open on Hanička always on weekends - Saturday from 9.30 to 3 pm., on Sundays and holidays from 10 am to 2 pm.Tours always start at every hour.
