Just came back from another MTB vacation in Northern Italy and Austria. BTW, check out my "new" (2018, used) VW Touareg I just bought that week
Went to a place where there was a village before they flooded it, so just the church tower is still looking out of that reservoir lake
That place is at the Italian/Austrian border and was a front line in first also in second World War.
We were biking up into the mountains
had lunch at the "Alm" what are Alp Mountains farms where they host guests for lunch
an Italian WW1 barracks
The actual Italian/Austrian border line
that is the official border crossing up there
Those are WW2 anti tank barricades
The most epic place at the former front line is that rock at elev 2009 meters (6.600ft)
that whole mountain is filled with bunkers

In the evening we were walking that WW2 bunker line
the bunker entrance, note the door and the shutters, is camouflaged with concrete to blend in to the natural rocks
the shutters open, an MG or canon emplacement
shutters made from a metal frame with the concrete camouflage
We walked that bunker line, coming back home pretty late with no moods to go out for dinner again. Lucky me, I always bring MREs to vacation
I opened my oldest case, a 2009, and took the #23 Chicken Pesto Pasta and #24 Buffalo Chicken out and we cooked it
Must the Buffalo Chicken taste "sour"?!
That "sour" taste was too "suspicious" to eat it so we dumped it
Anything else was still edible and OK - except the civilian peanuts M&Ms. They became rancid after 13 years of storage...
