The Adolf Gun sightseeing

Visit one of the largest battleship-cannons put on land in Europe during the second World War. With its four guns it became the largest and most powerful battery along the 5000 km long Atlantic Wall, and today these cannons are the only ones still intact and possible to visit.
The four guns formed the most powerful battery along Hitler’s 5,000-kilometre Atlantic Wall and are the only guns of their kind that can still be viewed in their entirety.

During the guided tour, a cannon expert will take you through the entire installation, including the gun turret, ammunition rooms and engine room.
