Bunker exposition

In 1984, on the site of the former military training area on the slope of Medvědín, construction began on a unique building - a nuclear bunker for 200 people, designed as a "government workplace during the state's defense readiness." The bunker was located in what is now the Harmony Club Hotel. There is a huge underground labyrinth beneath the building. The hotel included a huge underground shelter for the general staff of the army at the time, one of the most secret projects in the country.

The five floors above ground contain not only numerous rooms, but also a 12-meter-long swimming pool, several meeting rooms and lounges, and a series of secret corridors and rooms. The lowest floor is 15.6 meters underground, with a two-meter-thick layer of concrete separating the shelter from the actual hotel. Five armored doors lead into the bunker, which would hermetically seal it off in the event of a biological or nuclear attack. Only a torso of the bunker's original rooms and corridors remains today. The size of the four-story underground labyrinth corresponded exactly to the capacity of the hotel. The designers created a bedroom, a kitchen, and a cinema room for 200 people. The soldiers had complete equipment here, so that in an emergency they could live here for several weeks and also direct the army's operations.

The subway's greatest pride is its two-hundred-seat cinema, designed for emergency command meetings. Although it was built nearly thirty years ago, its comfortable seats and equipment would make many modern cinema operators green with envy.
