ROTAVA – Remains of Former Cage from World War Two

There is a lot of myth around this prodigious place :
This was secret eastablishment stashed high in the mountain ( Krusne Hory, at northwest part of Bohemia) , at unhospitable countryside, in the middle of deep swamps.
There was secret manufactory, where spareparts for german rocket V2 was manufactured. Communication was runned through underground drifts.
And here is a few facts :
Tin was mined here from 16th century.
Factory processing the ore was grounded here later.
And during Second World War two separate cages was runned here, one for french, second for russian captives. Together 300 people was prisoned here.

As You can see, visit of this special place can easily rise spirits and chimeras, even 60 years after war…
