| Image Description: |
A true relic of an ancient alien race! Remnants of a landing pod for an interstellar alien spaceship! See that?. . Well, those who built it might be considered a kind of an alien race - sort of. . One of the most exciting things while exploring the Molotov Line is looking for the traces of infrastructure left by the builders. We are not talking about pillboxes here but all those innocent places like wells, water tanks, small concrete plants, lumber mills, stone-crushing sites, etc. They are incredibly difficult to locate.. Construction work of this scale requires vast amounts of lumber, stone and water - just to mention the very basic things. Water is the most important among them. No water, no construction. Some areas had water in abundance, some were dry as a desert and water was as precious as gold.. What you see here is a water tank - and it's huge. I left my car at the edge of the forest to give a sense of scale. Bowl-shaped concrete tank was built at the top of the hill - all the pillboxes are scattered on the fields and in the forest below. . It looks like the tank - the biggest one located so far on the Molotov Line - serviced most of the building sites around it. It was apparently easier to draw water from a single, big well and then to pump it downhill by means of a dozen of pipes than to bring water from many locations closer to the actual building sites. You'd need water trucks and a horde of men just to haul tons of water forth and back. And thus this wonderful landing pod was constructed. Not stupid at all. |
