Polar region, the coast of the Barents Sea, 170 kilometers north of Murmansk. For over 60 years these places were considered secret. A strict regime of the border zone operates here today.
These mysterious objects were built during the Second World War by the Germans, they are located near the village of Liinakhamari, Pechenga region, in the immediate vicinity of the Barents Sea. There are various versions of their purpose, one for platforms for artillery guns, although their direction is back from the bay, on the other, these are launching sites for Wehrmacht flying saucers.
On the way, we admired the beautiful nature of the Kola Peninsula.
After passing 2 checkpoints, we drove up to Liinakhamari, where I watched such an interesting production of the Soviet era:) The village itself is half-empty, and absolutely not interesting, so we will omit its description.
We arrived in the late afternoon, to a house by the sea, to my friends. We decided to go to the site in the morning and devote the evening to rest and a walk in the nearby area.
Promotional video:
The house is located on the coast of the Devkina Zavod Bay, right at the exit to the Barents Sea.
In the morning we moved to the rings, on the way decided to look at the no less mysterious "Seyda". These are huge, detached boulders on heights, of various shapes, most often rounded, ranging in size from half a meter to ten and weighing up to 30, and sometimes more than tons, standing in an unstable position. Often they stand on several small stones, and in spite of the apparent instability, they do not fall. Who put them this way is still a mystery, there are several hypotheses on this topic that you can easily find on the Internet, so I will not dwell on them.
Finally we came to the first roundabout. It is flooded with groundwater, and therefore not so interesting. It is strange that it is flooded, as it is located above the rest above sea level.

And here is the second ring.
Just a beautiful photo, with my shadow)
The third, in my opinion, is the most interesting ring. The quality of the concrete is amazing, all the corners, since 1943, in perfect condition, nothing has crumbled or split off. Our builders never dreamed of this. The diameter is about 15-20 meters.
And finally, the last, smallest ring.
A bit about this project that I found on the net, purely for a change.
And a little video for a snack:
