Molde, point Julneset.
WB Norwegen, Art.Gr. Möre, Torpedo battery Julholm, 2x45cm - 2x53cm.

Follow the road from Molde towards the ferry at Hollingen, this is the 662. After you've passed the exit to the ferry to Solhlomen (668), continue on the 662 for about 2km, when the road makes a sharp turn to the right there is a small parking place on the right side of the road. From their cross the road and walk on this private road towards some house. Ask for permission first and then walk along the houses, trough the woods down to the water, there is a clear path. The bunker is located at the water line so it will take a 15min walk.

First you'll see some foundations of large barracks, a small emplacement for a 2cm Flak and a living quarter. Then finally, near the water lies a beautiful torpedo bunker. The bunker is supposedly closed but there is a hole in the covered entrance. The inside looks still very nice; central heating, the closing doors for the tubes, text next to the entrance (Smoking prohibited) and the original system on the ceiling for transporting the torpedo's. This huge bunker is absolutely worth a visit, the view is just incredible and if you're lucky, you'll see a dolphin coming by…

Types:
1x Sk Torpedo bunker for 2x45cm - 2x 52cm.
1x Flak emplacement.
1x Flak 2cm emplacement.
1x Living quarter.
1x Barrack foundation.

Molde, point Julneset.
WB Norwegen, Art.Gr. Möre, M.K.B. Jul 1/505, 4x10,5cm.

Follow the coast road, the 662 from Molde towards Hollingen (the ferry to the island Gossen).
Take the exit on to the 668, towards the ferry harbour (direction Solholmen), a few hundred meters from that exit is a small road on your left hand; this sand road leads to a parking place deep inside the forest. From there you can walk towards the water, there are signs and information boards about the bunkers.

The construction of the battery was finished around July 1940; it had four emplacements for a 10,5cm gun and lots of supporting bunkers. There are lots of different emplacements; the four for the 10,5cm guns, one smaller one which could be for a supporting 7,5cm field gun, a second small emplacement connected to a small shelter which also could be for a 7,5cm gun and one emplacement which function is unknown to us. A highlight is the fire-control bunker, 636a, which looks absolutely beautiful especially with all the nice shapes and rounding's of this type of bunker.
There are some very nice examples of Norwegian style bunkers; the impressive living quarters which look like regular houses. They are beautiful camouflaged in the surrounding, the combination of natural stones, concrete and especially wood is just fabulous. Some nice trenches with field positions make this battery worth a visit.

Types:
1x 636a Command post for army coastal battery(unit command post.
4x Gun emplacement for Uto C/16 L/45.
3x Vf ammunition bunker.
6x Living quarters.
2x Vf personnel.
2x Searchlight emplacement.
2x Tobruk58c, with trenches.
