This set of bunkers is located to the left of Noirmount point or more comenly know as Batterie Lothringenm, this unlike the Batterie Lothringen has not had any restoation work done on it, i am sorry for the quality of the pics they where quite hard to get close up pics as in some places it was very over grown.

this would be the main entrance it also has some tracks leading into the bunker, im not to sure what they woudl be form but my guess is that a gun would have been mounted on them and they would just role it in and out the bunker when needed.
