In some of the photos posted by Alex on the "Tidalwave"topic,we all could see some forts in the north part of Bucharest.
Today with the help of an helicopter pilot,I found two of them(from 6 existing). They are all over the "centura " of the city;from Mogosoaia to Tunari. The first I saw was near 'Zarea "factory. I came near it but it was not posible to get to it since from the north and west there was a deep trench full of water.To get to it I need to wind some relation on the Transmition unit near by. The second one was about 2 km from the Otopeni bridge to Tunari. Also very well camuflage and surounded by water.On the entrence is written "regimentul......artilerie". My friend told me that in late summer the water evaporatyes and it is posible to get near by. Can't wait!!!! |

There are more forts, all around Bucharest, i have seen them all. Just drive around the belt road and look carefully. Some of them are now inside military units (like the one near the Mc Donalds in Otopeni).

To see the Bucharest forts you simply need to drive your car along the belt road of the city. The forts are usually close to the road, on the side opposite the city. Look carefully at any military base, many of the forts are inside them.
If you come to Bucharest, you can send me an e-mail before. I have an old book about the forts, it includes schetches, plans and maps of the Bucharest forts and some other fortified areas (FNG line, Cernavoda bridgehead). We can meet and i can show you the book. |

Take that book you have about the forts!
And if you have a jurnalist ID would be good. Maybee we can enter the transmition fort near the Otopeni bridge. |
