At the Carinthian Wurzen Pass, the former secret and largest bunker complex of the Federal Army, which was operational from 1963 to 2002, has been open since 2005 as a uniquely Austrian open-air museum.
Herzlich Willkommen im Bunkermuseum!

Im "Kalten Krieg” jahrzehntelang geheim – nun öffentlich zugänglich.Von 1963 bis 2002 geheim und einsatzbereit gehalten - seit 2005 das einzigartige Bunkermuseum: die ehemals größte Verteidigungsanlage Österreichs aus dem „Kalten Krieg“ am Kärntner Wurzenpass. Nur hier sind originale Bunker, Verbindungsgräben und Kampfstellungen samt ergänzenden Sperren und einer kompletten Sammlung der verbunkerten und mobilen Waffensysteme ab 1955 hautnah zu sehen.

Unsere BesucherInnen brauchen keinerlei Vorkenntnisse: nach dem Start im Info-Zentrum entdecken sie bei ihrem individuellen Rundgang das 11.400 m² große Museumsareal für sich. Er führt sie durch die weitläufigen Verbindungsgräben und teils tunnelartigen Gänge. So kommen sie zu den sieben miteinander verbundenen Bunkern (Kampf-, Führungs-, Versorgungs- und Schutzanlagen) und vorbereiteten Kampfdeckungen im Originalzustand.

Die einmalige Sammlung zeigt zusätzlich unter anderem alle Typen von verbunkerten Panzertürmen und Kanonen der Artillerie, Panzer- und Fliegerabwehr der ehemaligen Landesbefestigung und Sperrtruppe Österreichs ab 1955. Sie sollten der kleinen, neutralen Alpenrepublik einen Angriff und Durchmarsch von NATO- und Warschauer Pakt-Soldaten ersparen.

Die Anlage, die Präsentation und die Besucherbetreuer erzählen Geschichte. Ob mit der Familie oder alleine - ob als außergewöhnliches Besuchsziel für Vereins- und Betriebsausflüge oder für Schulklassen: aus dem Museumsbesuch wird garantiert ein bleibendes Erlebnis.

Als Mahnmal am Dreiländereck (AUT, SLO, ITA) zeigt das Bunkermuseum am Schnittpunkt dreier Kulturen eindrucksvoll und authentisch, was in unserem friedlich vereinten Europa erfreulicherweise überflüssig geworden ist.
