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.
