EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Yesterday and today. Walked with my daughter in Vyborg.

Started from the embankment, looked at the ships after restoration.

And past the castle went straight to the islands.

Monrepos Park greeted us with classic views and a wooden fox. :)

We stopped to drink tea from a thermos.

Finally got to the goal of our trip, the Linnasaari fort.

Built in 1912-1916. One of three forts that protected Vyborg from the northwest. The fort had a battery of 15 105-caliber guns, a powder warehouse, and a laboratory for producing shells. According to the plan, the fort was supposed to protect the inner part of the bay and the Vyborg-Helsinki railway line.
Did not take part in the First World War. And in general, after the revolution, no one needed it until 1939. Here the Finns did not miss the moment, and quite briskly covered the Red Army troops advancing on Vyborg with artillery fire from the fort. True, not for long. Therefore, little remains of the battery itself.

But the laboratory survived.

After realizing that we wouldn't find anything else here, we went back to the bay to eat some hot ramen and refill our thermos with more tea.

Strange artwork was discovered on one of the boundary pillars dividing the territory of the military department and the Monrepos Park. :)

We ate with a view of the northern beauties.
