Great location with beautiful views of the Kornati Islands. The former military bunkers are freely accessible. Be sure to bring a good flashlight and some courage, then you can walk the corridor from the central bunker in the middle of the hill to the two bunkers in front on the sea side. 🔦🧟‍♂️😱

The striking metal sculpture Lostura, depicting the noble pen shell Pinna nobilis, is a memorial to the friendship between the two municipalities of Murter-Kornati and Heroy in Norway.

Today, the tunnels are a popular tourist destination for anyone spending time on Murter. The tunnels are completely dark, and anyone wishing to enter them must bring a flashlight or other good light source. About 20% of the tunnels are inaccessible, as the deepest sections were only accessible by ladders and have unfortunately collapsed.

During World War II, the tunnels were used as a military hideout. The bunker housed three cannons designed to defend Murter (and the entire Croatian coast) from Italian warships. This nearly led to a war between Croatia and Italy. What actually happened that day is unknown.

The bunker complex on Murter, located on Raduč Hill, provides an impressive glimpse into history. The coastal defense installations were connected by tunnels.
