    Tips

    July 12, 2019

    In order to improve the infrastructure during the war years 1914 to 1918, a cable car was built. At this point another chapter of alpine warfare began. German troops turned the HWK into an anthill. They dug innumerable tunnels through the mountain to reach positions under heavy fire.

      The old fortress and bunker facilities are still surprisingly well preserved, as well as the barbed wire fence and "cuddly tails", which are distributed throughout the area.
