Journey to the nuclear war via the Swiss tunnel

For 30 years, the tourists, who are guided for the south for Italy through the tunnel Of zonnenberg, a concept did not have, that they pass one of the nuclear bunkers largest in the world.
Swiss authorities ever could not be accused of the fact that they seriously did not relate to the threat of nuclear war. But now they shut the large part of this terrible municipal refuge within the framework of the reconsideration of the threat of national security.


"extraordinary scenario is now different from that, which it would be possible to expect in the period" the Cold War ", notes guide Giulia Meir.


The major issue Of zonnenberga consists in the fact that for the preparation of this tunnel- bunker as the safety zone for 20.000 local residents is required about two weeks. And still there... are not shut doors.


Closing tunnel- bunker - this is the part of the overestimation of the defense priorities of Switzerland: from the relatively precise factors of the period of the "Cold War" to the unpredictable threats of terrorism and natural calamities, counts the representative of the ministry of civil defense Pascal Ebisher.


In 1960- e years at the heighth of nuclear race Switzerland accepted the law, in accordance with which. Each inhabitant of the country was obligated to obtain vengeance in the refuge in the case of the beginning of nuclear war.
The authority of lucerne, located on the foot of the Alps, sochli, that for these purposes in the city too little place solved the problems due to the use of new automobile tunnels on the main tourist route from Germany to Italy. Basic bunker they placed under Zonnenberg mountain on the edge of city.


The shelter years built in 1970- e, it was connected with two new tunnels, creating for the mountain something like the virtual city, equipped with the system of the filtration of air, by control center, the prison and the hospital to 350 cots.


The authorities of lucerne now solved, that this gigantic means of protection (probably, the largest in Europe) no longer has sense its capacity they will bring to 2.000 people, who in the case of threat can be placed in the command center. Thus, it will be possible to substantially reduce the expenditures for the maintenance of complex, which yearly bypassed urban treasury into 500.000 Swiss francs (400.000 dollars).
