Tips

Hiking

The Reduit has a strikingly shaped brick barracks with a courtyard and a fighting platform at the top. A wooden drawbridge over the dry moat provided access to the Reduit. In Fort 4 the retrieval mechanism has been exceptionally preserved. On the enemy side, an inner glacis, a sloping slope in the courtyard of the fortress island, protected the Reduit. Anyone walking through the dry moat around the Reduit could be shot at from the Reduit, but also from the counterscarp. Because under the inner glacis there was a series of about 70 cannon cellars
