The Museum is situated at the top of the hill known as Na Kočičáku and it consists of reconstructed fortification structures constructed in 1936 and 1937, anti-craft and anti-personnel obstacles, shooting and surveillance corridors. There is also a nature trail providing information on the Czechoslovak fortification system from 1935 to 1937 and on the fatal year of 1938.
The Museum allows you to delve into the history of the first half of the 20th century, the harmonic times in the period between the two world wars, and the troubled times at the end of the 1930s when a war conflict of horrendous proportions engulfed the world, with Czechoslovakia playing a major part. It is worth visiting this unusual museum and to see the completely reconstructed structures of Czechoslovak light fortifications, types 36 and 37 (known as 'řopík'); these are exact copies of fortifications used by soldiers in 1938. They were there, ready with a finger on the trigger to defend their country. You can also see anti-craft and anti-personnel obstacles, connecting and shooting trenches. Visitors will receive information on why the fortification structure was constructed, on the companies who built the fortifications, their concept and purpose, and also the political situation on the eve of the Munich events.

Updated information, photographs and other interesting facts can be obtained at Na Kočičáku!
