Bunker Park
The fortress system called "the Hungarian Magin Line" is almost twice as long as the name giver French Magin Line (350 km). The Southern Defense Line consisted of three protective tracks, the first of which was the so-called main guard rails built the most. The defensive line started to build in 1950. The most expensive activity was the establishment of a large-scale fortress system with the help of Soviet military experts. The fortifications here - which were called the common language bunker - were built on Soviet plans between 1952 and 1955.
The hedge in the woods between Páka and Csömödér is a part of this historically interesting era.
