About
The cannon at Austratt, a triple-barreled gun turret, is the only of its kind remaining. The cannon, which originally was part of the battleship Gneisenau, has three 28.3 cm cannons with a range of 38 km. The cannon tower is five stories tall. During a guided tour you will descend five stories into the mountain. You will experience the impressive insides of the gun turret and you will among other things see and hear about the German soldiers underground barracks, the electrical generating system and hospital. In summer season: guided tour every day.
