Walkers stroll along 9-ton concrete blocks of the Toblerone line, in Begnins, in the Canton of Vaud, Switzerland, Sunday, June 9, 2024. 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. The 2,700 9-ton 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.
