Looking for an information about the bunker near Bernau, I (Mutabor) have come to the Internet forum "Back to GSFG", where various places related to the the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany are being discussed. And I've got an advice to visit the forest near town Lossa, where many Soviet military underground objects still remained. So I took a small train and went deep into the German out-of-the-way (pic 1–7).
The forest has a strange name "Höhe Schrecke", what means "High Fears". I had made a mistake: I had not composed the detailed map of the place, so I spent too much time looking for military objects. One of them had appeared just a tiny bunker (pic 8), nearby it I'd found a cap of some ventilation, (pic 9) but had failed to find an entrance of the underground construction itself. And another my discovery was a nestling box =) (pic 10)
Then I tried to find a communication node, but further I had found out that is was not underground. So I've found just a couple of things related to Sovied Army (pic 11, 12). After that I had lunch using my protective helmet for drinking water from a brook (pic 13).
Finally I had found the underground command center, and it was amazing :-) (pic 14–29).
Mölau: A hundred miles is not so much for the mad dog!
Reading the above mentioned forum I have found out another interesting place not far from Halle. I could go there by bike, the distance was about 40 kilometers. So in a beautiful day I had started my trip there. At the beginning I once had chosen a wrong way that led me to the reminders of a wind mill (pic 30–33). I had never seen something like that before...
But finally I had reached the destination point and started the quest. I had met some evidence of the underground object there, but it seemed to be blown up (pic 34–39). Having rambled a little bit more in the forest I had met a railroad sleeper (pic 40), ate some strawberries (pic 41) and had decided that there was no undurground bunker there anymore.
Being on the way to the location, I had spotted some abandoned buildings and after my failure with the bunker I had decided to explore them. There turned out to be a garrison servicing the bunker. There had remained many traces of the Soviet military men there (pic 42–57).
After Soviet soldiers there appeared to live some other people, probably non-German speaking. Now the remainders of the Soviet past is mixed with artifacts from more recent time (pic 58–64).
Having visited the abandoned garrison, I had started the way back. But the problem had appeared: there was a gap in the Google maps I had printed out for my trip. The two sheets did not overlap. And while on the way there I had managed to choose the right way, on the way back I had turned to the wrong direction. Finally I had found the direction sign pointing to Halle, but at some moment I was about to had a night in an accident place. Probably this mistake costed me some tenth kilometers... Finaly I had covered by bike more than 110 kilometers in a day.
