Movik Fort

Movik Fort is a historic German coastal fortification located near the Skagerrak Straits in Norway. Originally constructed during World War II by German forces, the fort once housed the second largest cannon in the world - a massive Krupp 380mm gun with a range of up to 55 kilometers (35 miles) and weighing 337 tonnes. The fort sits in a commanding position overlooking the strategic waterway between Norway and Denmark. During the Cold War, Norway's proximity to the USSR led to the development of extensive military bunker networks across the country, with some sites being vast secret bases that have recently been restored as tensions with Russia have renewed interest in these Cold War-era fortifications.
