Czechoslovak fortifications, including bunkers, forts, and cabins, were constructed in the years 1935-1938 as part of the country’s defence system, particularly against the Nazi threat. The Munich Agreement of 1938, which forced the country to relinquish a large part of territory to Nazi Germany, put an end to the construction project; hence, the country lost its system of fortifications. On your journeys today along the Polish border you will come across a great amount of evidence from that period; many of these objects are accessible to the public. They often shelter original equipment meant for the nation’s defence.
The heaviest fortified area of both Czechoslovakia and Europe was the territory around the town of Králíky, which features the well-preserved and accessible artillery fort Bouda and Hůrka. Military demonstrations with historical equipment are held here annually in the second half of August - Cihelna Military history buffs will surely not want to miss the important military demonstration event held annually in the first half of August in Mladějov .
Additional important military forts in Eastern Bohemia include Dobrošov in the Kladsko borderlands and Hanička in the Orlické Mountains.
In addition to monuments from the Second World War the region also holds landmarks from older military conflicts. One of the most important was the Battle at Hradec Králové on 3.7.1866 , when the Prussian army annihilated Austrian troops.
