Metersand

Tyske kystfort i Finnmark 1940 - 1944. Da de tyske styrkene trakk seg tilbake fra Russland ble alle kystfortene nord for Skjervøy destruert. Mange av kystfortene kom også i harde kamper før tilbaketrekningen.

I drive to mid-July and wanted to Kirkenes Mestersand. How do I get there and what is there? What is still in coastal batteries to Kirkenes?

Hello

You have to rent a boat to get to Mestersand. As with most batteries in Finnmark, this was also blown up during the retreat.
Guns + all major steelconstructions were scrapped after the war, so unless you have a particular interest in this battery, there isn`t THAT much interesting to see out there.
