WOP post in Kamieńczyk

The military outpost includes remains of concrete structures positioned at an elevation of 1,076 meters within the Karkonosze mountain range.

Established in 1945 as part of Poland's post-war border protection system, the post initially housed 56 soldiers who monitored the Polish-Czechoslovak frontier.

The facility received the name of Hungarian poet Sandor Petofi in 1983, representing the connection between Eastern European military installations and cultural figures.

Access to the former guard post area remains restricted due to environmental protection measures safeguarding the local capercaillie population.

The soldiers stationed at this remote outpost maintained their own vegetable garden and raised pigs to sustain their food supplies.
