..."Today we headed northwest to Jesenice in the upper Sava river valley. Here the water in the river and lakes was a lovely blue/green/white colour and the mountains outstanding, inducing a photo stop en route. Just over the Wurzenpass into Austria we meet Major Mag. Andreas Scherer who explained the reason why the Bunkermuseum was here. In the 1960s, fortifications became a very important part of border protection on this frontier, stemming partly from a linguistic problem. The Austrian State Treaty of 1955 prohibited Austria from possessing missiles, but in the German translation, it was unclear if this related only to long range missiles or also to short range anti-tank rockets. To avoid any diplomatic incidents, the Austrian leadership decided to play it safe, and instead of forming highly mobile anti-tank units armed with short-range missiles, set out to construct a network of permanent positions in which a Centurion tank cupola with an anti-tank gun was the main armament" ... ..."We stopped for lunch at the very picturesque ruined C12th Kamen Castle at Begunje, known as the "Rock Castle", surrounded by mountains, it defended the entry to the Radovljica plain. I wandered around taking in the views and the defences before returning to see what was left for lunch; another lovely stew and hunks of bread to enjoy as I sat with others."... ..."Looking for signs of concrete we stopped at the mountain pass of Petrovo Brdo which looked very promising and Alex told us of the area and the defences. On a ridge was an artillery bunker with a farmhouse on top and way high on the mountain above that were Italian barracks of the Vallo Alpino works of Mt Lajnar, just over the reverse slope."...
