Overview

Dělostřelecký srub N-D-S 75 Zelený is a key component of the Dobrošov Fortress, part of the Czechoslovak border fortification system constructed between 1935 and 1938. The site is a heavy artillery bunker designed to house dual 10cm howitzers in a rotating armored turret, though these were never installed due to the Munich Agreement. The bunker features an extensive underground complex of corridors and storage rooms connected to the neighboring N-D-S 74 Můstek and N-D-S 73 Jeřáb infantry bunkers. It is situated on the ridge above the town of Náchod at an altitude of approximately 600 meters. The facility remains a memorial to pre-WWII defensive engineering and military architecture. Visitors can explore the preserved subterranean sections that highlight the tactical planning of the era. The site is currently managed by the Regional Museum in Náchod.
