Hurka fort represents one of the pillars of Czechoslovak fortifications from 1935 - 1938. It consists of massive combat building structures in the highest resistance - so-called cabins (walls and roof slabs are 350 cm thick) and a large underground system of corridors and halls deep in the rock massif. Hurka was open to the public until autumn of 2012 in the state in which it had been handed over to the town Kraliky in May 2008 by the Ministry of Defence. In the years 2011 - 2012 it underwent extensive revitalization. The fortress is accessible in its full scope (1.75 km of underground corridors and halls, five combat buildings) and it is the largest building structure of Czechosloval fortification accessible to the public.
