For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Location? Background? History?

Yeah I was wondering about that too. Looks like Czech Republic maybe, so these might be part of those old defenses built preparing for a Nazi invasion, some of which apparently got refurbed during the Cold War

Bingo!

Both of them are museums now. In a post is MJ-S 3 Zahrada, and in text is MJ-S 15 Závora.

They weren't finished before war and were completed in 50's and used until 90's.

Haha nice, was about time! I also stopped to take a bunker photo, inspired by retrolasered's bunker pic for you, but somehow did not include it in the France photo post.

Bunker at Lac de Remoray, France

Thanks, I unfortunately didn't thought that I will ride this route (last minute change of plans) so I couldn't go inside.
