I to have to have a little look at this site, so roll on a few months (about 12) and a drive across Europe to check it out @sageman and myself were stood at the bottom of a 3km hill with a locked gate, so no driving up.
About 2km up a very nice relaxing steep hill we had made it to the 1st of the remains of the base and also into a hostile mosquito breeding frenzy. Every 10 seconds I could feel another one biting me. We had 2 hrs to check it all out, walk back to the car and get into the city and pick up my wife and daughter from shopping in the local town
So we just rumbled through all the woods and kept finding more and more underground buildings, tunnels and other structures all over the shot, so I just decided to photograph the stuff that interested me.
History wise
There is not a great deal to on on other than ' Built in the early 1980's, though originally conceived as a possible radar / SAM site as early as 1972.
It's purpose was monitoring of air space over Bratislava and antiaircraft missiles were stored here.
Base was closed in mid-1990'
