    Hiking

    A few meters before the pass we will find a machine gun nest in fairly good condition. We are at the 'Sperrlinie Pyranäenfront', the defensive line created by the Germans in the 40s to protect the French border they had occupied from Franco's Spain, which they did not trust.

    This nest is formed by the turret of a Panzer 38 (t) tank built by Skoda inside a Czech Republic occupied by the Nazis. It had a 3.7 cm cannon and a coaxial Mg 37 (t) machine gun. Both elements were still in situ until a few years ago, now gone.
