After the 2 world war, most of the area was taken over by Coastal Artillery, while some parts were quickly released. The military activity was closed down in 1993.

The outermost part of the area, with the relatively steep slopes down towards the sea is treeless, while the rest of the area has lush vegetation. The highest part of the area is slightly over 20 meters. From the fort you have a clear view out over the sea towards Onsøylandet and the Hvalerøyene to the east, open sea in a southern direction and over towards Svenner Lighthouse, and the Telemark and Vestfold coasts in the west.
