If you want to keep your bunker secret, why release high resolution 
images of the gatehouse building and a prominent nearby landmark?

It doesn't help that there is a web page with a map showing the precise 
location of the "MOST SECURE DATACENTER" in a "Swiss granite mountain". 
It took me a couple of minutes web searching to find this and crosscheck 
the photos with the map.

Google provide walking directions to the secret front door from the 
nearest railway station ("Mostly flat", 3.1 km).
