Koldkrigsmuseum Stevnsfort
This museum is a great way to spend a morning or afternoon. It was a subterranean fortress that was used in the 20th century Cold War Era. Built as a secret fortress when nuclear was feared in a stand-off between NATO and the USSR, the museum was built to provide a historical understanding of what happened at that time.
Visits are available in 90-minute tours. While the guided tour is a great way to get to know the area better, you don’t need a tour in order to explore the above-ground area. View a selection of mobile radar stations, rocket launchers, and more. For just a small fee, visitors to the museum can even drive a model tour. Make sure to book ahead as this is a popular attraction. Great for anyone interested in history, it’s also a fascinating experience of a fairly recent time in history.
