Cold War Bunker Beneath the Danish Hills: Koldkrigsmuseet REGAN Vest
A hidden Cold War government bunker buried beneath the Rebild Hills, offering a rare and immersive journey into Denmark’s secret nuclear history.
Hidden deep beneath the hills outside Skørping, the Koldkrigsmuseet REGAN Vest is one of Denmark’s most fascinating Cold War relics. This once ultra-secret nuclear bunker, now a museum, was built to shelter the Danish government and royalty in the event of nuclear war. Visitors step into 1960s-era control rooms, living quarters frozen in time, and long, echoing corridors—all meticulously preserved to tell the tense story of Denmark’s shadowy nuclear age.
