Toblerone Line

The Toblerone line is a 10 km long defensive line made of "dragon's teeth" fortifications built during the Second World War between Bassins and Prangins, in the Canton of Vaud, Switzerland. Such defensive blocks can be found throughout Switzerland, though more commonly in border areas. Their purpose was to stop tank invasions. The 2,700 nine-tonne concrete blocks that make up the defences are similar to the shape of the Toblerone chocolate bar, which gave its name to the line. Since the line has been left to nature since its construction, it was decided to keep these concrete blocks and to make a hiking trail along their route.

The line included several fortresses, the most well-known being the "Villa Rose" in Gland, Switzerland, a camouflaged bunker now operating as a museum.
