The bunker is right on the way and is therefore easy to reach. From there you have a great view over Jammerbucht. Also highly recommended at sunset.
A narrow path leads to a second bunker, the entrance of which is partially open.

The Atlantic Wall in Denmark was a coastal defensive system on the North Sea coast of Jutland in World War II. It consisted of approx. 2,000 concrete bunkers. In some places, like here in Saltum, the bunkers are still on the dunes, in other places, e.g. north of Løkken they have slipped down the dunes.

The approximately 8,000 concrete structures that were built in Denmark are the largest and most expensive structure in the history of Denmark. The Danish government did not want any further expenses in connection with the removal of bunkers and other buildings. That is why many of the bunkers can still be visited along the entire western coast of Jutland. You can climb on the bunkers and enter, but at your own risk. (from nordvestkysten.de)
