First World War bunkers near Matiši Įtvirtinimas

It is located on a hill, in an open field near the houses of Matiš. Access is either from the north side, leaving the vehicle a little behind the Kiegielnica graves and walking about 300 meters, or walking along the edge of the field and taking the mobile communication base tower as a landmark.

Taking into account the prevailing height (171.3m) and the long visibility over the enemy's side, a concrete artillery observation point was created here. The artillery positions themselves were located to the south under the cover of a hill. The observation sectors are oriented to the N and NE. An artillery battery was located in the cover of a hill to the south. A branch of the narrow-gauge railway from the Zarasu side (west side) led to this position, it was even marked on the reconnaissance map of the Russian army, which was made mostly from aerial reconnaissance data. Currently, the exact location of the railway branch has not yet been found in nature.

Today, the observation bunker is partially sunk into the ground and has no cover, but from observation embrasures
