Cold War Legacy

The Secret Bunker At Vikings Forge Apartment is a recently renovated former nuclear bunker from the Cold War period.

One-Bedroom Apartment

The bunker offers one bedroom with a comfortable bed, extra-warm fluffy blankets, and a well-supplied breakfast bar used as a desk. Guests have access to a kitchenette with kettle, microwave, fridge/freezer, and a washing machine for longer stays. The space is spotlessly clean and includes free toiletries, a TV, and dining table.
