The anti-tank barrier at Plamort is part of the Vallo Alpino (Alpine Wall). The line of fortifications were built between the 1920s and 1942 but were never fully completed. It was intended to secure the border regions to France, Yugoslavia, Switzerland and also the future ally – the German Reich. The relationship between the two fascist states of Mussolini and Hitler was not based on close trust. For this reason, between 1938 and 1942, the construction of the border fortifications of the Alpenwall in South Tyrol was promoted. This also includes the system at the Reschenpass and Plamort.

Construction was stopped only on October 4, 1942, after Hitler had announced to his buddy Mussolini at the Brenner station that he would respect the borders of South Tyrol and that it would remain Italian. In 1943 Mussolini was deposed and an armistice was declared towards the Allies. After the subsequent declaration of war on the German Reich, the Wehrmacht marched into South Tyrol. The fully functional system of anti-tank obstacles, bunkers, roads for supplies and command posts at Plamort was handed over without a fight.

A support association offers interested visitors guided tours through the labyrinths of military installations and the museum in the Etschquelle bunker no. 20. Information is available here: vinschgau.net/de/service-info/aktuelles/alle-veranstaltungen.html?eventid=d4deff3b2b624c489b97884f29bb294d.
