The former “Plätzwiese barrage” is located directly opposite the Dürrensteinhütte. The ruins of an old Austro-Hungarian fortification are a relic from the First World War. It was built at the end of the 19th century to secure the nearby Landro Valley and to block enemy access to the Puster Valley. Unfortunately, the building is not open to visitors.
