Location: Darkovičky, 748 01 Hlučín · Moravian-Silesian Region

Category: infantry bunker

A two-storey two-sided infantry bunker of Class III resistance from 1936–1938, part of the Hlučín defensive line. The structure is managed by the Association of Friends of Czechoslovak Fortifications of the Opava and Hlučín Region and offers a permanent museum exhibition with technical equipment from 1938. Visits are possible by prior arrangement or when a flag is displayed on the bunker.

Why visit this place?

• The bunker was concreted between 16 and 24 September 1936; its garrison numbered 36 men under sergeant Michal Ulihanic.
• A private museum has been restoring it to its 1938 state since 2006; the neighbouring MO-S 22 Frantisek, manned by 37 men, belongs to it too.
• Allow roughly an hour; the programme is aimed at upper primary and secondary students.
• There are 72 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
• The whole programme is indoors, so rain is not a problem.
• There is a dedicated programme for school groups, not just general admission.
