Location

The work on the Andersgrotta Cave shelter commenced in the Autumn of 1941. Engineer Anders Elvebakk directed the work, and was thus the source of the name Andersgrotta. The first tunnel was blasted from Tellef Dahlsgt (street), and the work continued throughout the war. Andersgrotta was reopened to the public in 1990. A film about Kirkenes at War, based on archive films and new shootings, is shown here. The Andersgrotta is open to tourists in summer.
