The St. Luzisteig Fortress was a defensive position of the Swiss Army. It is located on the St. Luzisteig Pass at an altitude of 713 meters in the canton of Graubünden and was part of the Sargans fortifications. The St. Luzisteig Pass is considered the most contested place in Switzerland, and the fortress is a military-historical monument of national importance.
