You may remember one of my last year's post... well, I'm pretty sure that nobody will remember it but it was about remains of defensive equipment that russians - or should I say: their prisoners of war mostly - did build at 1915-1917 in fear of german's landing to Finland (which never did happen, at least not in that period and not in that scale so these structures weren't never in use. Well, I'm not too big friend of military things even I did spent 8 months in army back at '90s. But those structures from far in time are somehow quite enchanting.
They make me think about how that small place in the middle of nowhere were once so geopolitical that it was worth to built there that kind of things. They also make me think about how it all did feel from those who were taken far from their home to here - I'm pretty sure that most of them would rather spent their time in somewhere else. So I did do some research, because I did already know that there is more. And then I did find this from digital archive:
And that was it, I did have to go check if I could find something. And I did. There were stone hill, I did know that it is one place were should be something is anything still is left. I did walk over the fields of nearby mansion to the forest and start climb that hill. I did get bit over half, when I did spot trench that were mined to that rock.
And what kind of place it was! Hundreds of meters trench going from here to there and else where on that hill. Best part of it were that it was mostly many meters deep, so you weren't able to see where you were going, it did feel quite adventure. But as you can imagine, trench is so god damned hard to photograph, so I didn't get too many photos. But you can be sure that I will return...
