history
During the Cold War , the 71st anti-aircraft missile division with stations in Kačice , Zdejcina , Přestavlky and Stará Huť was set up from 1959 to defend Prague airspace .
The missile base in Hřebeny was built between 1981 and 1985 under military secrecy in the middle of the Dobříš forests on the Hřebeny ridge. In addition, the red ridge hiking trail was relocated over the Hřebeny. The eleven hectare military area was secured with a three meter high concrete wall. According to officially misinformation, the missile base was supposed to be used for the air defense of Prague . After its completion, the unit 5180, consisting of the 17th, 18th and 19th anti-aircraft missile divisions, was stationed in the object, which was equipped with 36 S-200 long-range missiles and which became part of the Warsaw Pact defense line. The Protiletadlová raketová základna Dobříš was the largest anti-aircraft missile station on Czechoslovak territory, because of its location it was given the nickname Klondajk from 1983 by the conscripts , based on the Klondike Fields , with which the area is now called after the missile station was closed. The base was divided into a team area with barracks, kitchen, cinema and sports rooms, a technical area with fire brigade and gas station as well as the actual fire area with the missile depots, underground control rooms and three 20 meter high concrete ramps for the radar. In 1987 the missile base received a new, six-kilometer paved access road from the road II / 114 Dobříš - Hostomice. In the course of a restructuring, the missile base was assigned to unit 4431 in 1995 and the long-range missiles were replaced by medium-range missiles S-75 and short-range missiles S-125. In 2000 the VÚ-4431 Dobříš station became part of the NATO air defense system . In autumn 2001 the closure of the Dobříš missile station was announced. The facility, which was then guarded by a civil security service, was opened to the public for the first time in February 2002. Some of the buildings were then rented to private individuals. Negotiations took place with the town of Dobříš regarding the takeover of the area. When the Dobříš Castle was transferred back to Jeromé Colloredo-Mansfeld , Jeromé Colloredo-Mansfeld also became the owner of the forests north of the Aglaia Wildlife Garden. The new owner intends to dismantle Klondajk and reforest the area.
