In 1941 the German forces in Denmark gained interest in Silkeborg Bad which was a recreational spa. In 1943 they moved their headquarter from Copenhagen to Silkeborg Bad. Several barracks and bunkers where built in the area and many of the bunkers are still to be found. After the war the area was used for refugees.

You can visit a small museum (located at this waymarks coordinates). It has a homepage (ind danish) with a map of the installations in the area. www.silkeborgbunkermuseum.dk.

On the area you will also find an arts centre. See www.silkeborgbad.dk
