Hůrka, Artillery fort and military museum in Králíky, Czech Republic.

The fortification encompasses extensive underground corridors, artillery positions, and infantry casemates spread across multiple levels of the complex structure.

The fort served as a military ammunition storage facility from 1958 until 2008, maintaining many original features including the narrow gauge railway system.

The site functions as an educational center where visitors learn about Czech military engineering and defense strategies through preserved military equipment.

Visitors need to climb 285 steps, equivalent to 52 meters in height, through the main entrance passage to reach the upper sections of the fort.

German military tests on the fort's structure left visible damage marks, with broken concrete and exposed reinforcement bars demonstrating artillery impact effects.
