Museum Railway
The ammunition track was built because the ammunition for the 38 cm guns was too heavy to be carried around on a sack truck. Therefore, an approximately 4.3 km long narrow-gauge track was constructed within the battery area. Shells and powder charges were transported by small diesel locomotives to the four gun positions from six large ammunition bunkers located further back in the terrain.

Ammunition bunker
The bunker had the German building number 1100 M5 and was completed on November 4, 1943. 5,130m3 of reinforced concrete was used to build the bunker. The bunker's ceiling and walls are 3.5 meters thick, making it the strongest type of bunker built in Hanstholm.
The bunker has two floors. Grenades were stored on the upper floor and the ammunition track runs through this part of the bunker. The powder charges were stored in the lower floor of the bunker, where there were also heating and ventilation systems to ensure a stable and good climate in the bunker.
The bunker had room for 232 rounds of 38 cm ammunition.
Four bunkers of this type were built in the battery in the fall of 1943.
