In Sörfold in Nordland you find Heeres Küsten Batterie 8/974 in Rösvik. This fortification was a part of the Atlantikwall and was ready in 1942. The complex was armed with 6 Belgian 7,6 cm cannons with a range of 10000 meters. For airdefence 4 88mm FlaK and two smaller 20mm FlaK guns. For close defence was several machinegun positions , stationary flamethrowers , minefields and two 5 cm mortars. It also had 2 large 60 cm searchlights.
The local school has had the fortification as a project and has cleared and dug out much of the bunkers and positions and has made a kilometer long trek through the complex. Here they have made info signs and put up some sitting benches along the route and it is possible to enter all of the bunkers and tunnels. There is several other bunkers and position spread out across the small settlement but most of those is closed or flooded.
An american AA gun has been placed here as well to add some interest.
