Survived after being blown up by Moscow. What does the largest bunker in Ukraine look like now.
The largest bunker in Ukraine is open for tourists
In the village of Verkhnya Hrabivnytsia in Transcarpathia is the largest bunker in Ukraine. It was built by Hungarians in 1939-1944 as part of the Arpad defense line. The main purpose of the bunker was to monitor the road passing through the village. At that time, this road was the best international route from Lviv to Budapest through the Carpathians. There are few details about the construction of the bunker since the archives were classified. However, in 2012, the restoration process of the bunker began, lasting four months. It is now accessible to tourists, thanks to 500 meters of pathways that are open.
The purpose of the bunker remains a mystery to this day. A local historian suggests that such a large bunker for defense is impractical and might have had other purposes, such as a secret laboratory. It is also worth noting that the bunker is designed to withstand any attacks, including nuclear ones.
Moscow ordered to blow up, destroy, completely erase from the face of the earth the history of the Arpad line, so that not even a mention would remain.
