The building bearing the name "Werk H" was originally intended to serve as another part of the Nazi factory for components of German military aircraft in the Rabštejn valley. The end of World War II interrupted the original plans for this underground facility and the control of Werk H was taken over by the CSLA, which set up strategic stores of supplies, especially fuel. In 1968, the Soviet army began to use the stores in addition to the CSLA. Werk H was finally abandoned in the 1990s.

Apart from the building itself, not much has survived inside and one walks through rather empty corridors and tunnels. In many places, however, you can still see remnants of the original structural elements, such as lighting brackets, wiring brackets, ladders, ventilation shafts, pipes...
Probably the biggest attraction is several of the original fuel tanks, one in particular is easily accessible and the more adventurous can crawl inside (top echo :D).

Objekt nesoucí označení "Werk H" měl původně sloužit jako další část nacistické továrny pro komponenty německých vojenských letadel v Rabštejnském údolí. Konec druhé světové války původní plány pro tento podzemní objekt přerušil a kontrolu nad Werk H převzala ČSLA, která zde zřídila strategické sklady zásob, zejména tedy pohonných hmot. V roce 1968 začala sklady kromě ČSLA využívat i sovětská armáda. Werk H byl definitivně opuštěn v 90. letech.
Kromě samotného objektu se toho uvnitř mnoho nedochovalo a člověk tak prochází spíše prázdné chodby a tunely. Na mnoha místech jsou však stále vidět pozůstatky původních konstrukčních prvků, jako úchyty na osvětlení, konzole na kabeláž, žebříky, ventilační šachty, potrubí...
Asi největším lákadlem je několik původních nádrží na palivo, kdy zejména jedna z nich je dobře přístupná a ti odvážnější můžou prolézt i dovnitř (top ozvěna :D).
