Fort Austratt is located on the Orlandet peninsula in an extremely good defensive position at the entrance to the Trondheim Fjord. In Trondheim town itself, the Germans had a large naval base and an important airfield.
The picture shows the road to the fort from the ferry pier in Brekstad. To get to the fort itself is about 4 km. In general, there are buses but they are goes very rarely, because everyone here has a car, and many have more than one.
