Stępina, Village with military bunker complex in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Poland

Located 36 kilometers southwest of Rzeszów, Stępina extends across rolling hills in southeastern Poland with approximately 920 permanent residents.

The village gained military importance in 1940 when German forces constructed the Anlage Süd bunker complex using laborers from the Szebnie concentration camp.

The local population maintains traditional agricultural practices while incorporating the heritage of the massive railway bunker into their community identity.

Visitors can access the 393-meter-long railway bunker structure through guided tours that explain its construction and wartime function.

The bunker in Stępina hosted a strategic meeting between Hitler and Mussolini in August 1941 before becoming a mushroom cultivation facility in the 1960s.
