It is possible to get into some of the piles, so it is a good idea to bring a flashlight. Also remember to wear practical clothing and footwear, as the piles can be wet.
Haven't you had enough at the end of the guided tour?
Then visit Ringkøbing Museum, where the exhibition "What the bunker hid" tells the story of the bunker where Gerhard Saalfeldt lived, which in 2008 appeared suddenly after a hurricane, almost completely untouched. It was abandoned in 1945 and is reconstructed at Ringkøbing Museum .
You can also visit the exhibition 'Flyers in the Night', which tells the story of 19 Allied planes shot down in Ringkøbing Fjord during the war.
