Bunker Přáslavice near Olomouc

Hidden for decades, Bunker Přáslavice near Olomouc invites you to step into a once-top-secret Cold War site. Opened to the public in 2022, this massive underground complex offers a unique glimpse into a fascinating part of European history. Built in the 1970s as part of the "International Coaxial Cable Highway 1," the bunker was designed to ensure secure communication between the East and West within the Warsaw Pact countries. Surprisingly, only Czechoslovakia completed this ambitious project, making Přáslavice a truly exceptional place.

The bunker itself is an impressive feat of engineering: a 10,000 m² facility with two above-ground and four underground floors, capable of surviving a nuclear blast. Inside, you'll find original air filtration systems, backup power sources, and water treatment facilities designed to sustain 60 people for ten days without external help. Visitors can also explore the hidden escape tunnel leading to the nearby village of Mrsklesy.

Beyond its historical significance, Bunker Přáslavice today embraces sustainability. Part of the complex now houses an innovative aquaponic vertical farm, combining war history with modern eco-friendly agriculture. This unusual blend of past and future makes a visit to Přáslavice a truly unforgettable experience.

Visitors can choose from several types of guided tours, available in Czech, English, German, and Polish. Whether you prefer a classic 60-minute tour or an intense 180-minute "RetroTech" program, each experience immerses you in the authentic Cold War atmosphere. For thrill-seekers, the adrenaline-packed "Experiment 025" tour brings fiction and history together in the most exciting way.

Guided tours run during weekends, Czech school holidays, and national days. Private visits can be arranged on request.

Olomouc Fortification System

As it used to be the Moravian capital, Olomouc obviously needed adequate protection. Today, there are only small fragments of the medieval fortifications still to be seen in the city - for example Bezruč Park features the Jewish Gate, one of the gateways to the town. However, the Baroque defence system is another kettle of fish – the still standing manifold fortification structures draw military architecture fans to Olomouc, which in addition also offers many other places of beauty.
