The Blücher Bunkers in Ustka

Museum in bunkers from World War II Blűcher - a complex of German bunkers from the 1930s - is located close to the center of Ustka, right next to the western port breakwater. On the 12-meter dune - the highest hill overlooking the beach - there was a cannon station of the so-called guiding cannon. The bunker has two floors. The upper bunker had a 105 mm caliber cannon on top. The steel seat of the cannon’s rotary mechanism has been preserved in the center of the plane surrounded by ammunition niches. In the lower, hidden part of the cannon station, there are shelters for service personnel, connected by an underground corridor with the command and fire control bunker, on the upper platform of which there was a rangefinder, which allowed to track potential targets.

This place is to provide knowledge about history in an accessible, interactive form. Currently, the most interesting point is the underground, where there is a modern multimedia museum with films, dioramas and realistic mannequins in uniforms. The exhibition shows the horror of war and the nonsense of the enormous efforts made by the Nazis to make Ustka a military Fortress, which was never completed.

Access:76 km from Blue Marine Mielno
Opening hours:  daily from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
