Fort Claudia is a historic fortress in Reutte and an impressive example of 17th-century military architecture.

Built to protect against enemy attacks, it served as a strategically important outpost in the Alps.

Today, visitors can explore the partially restored remains of the fort and gain insight into its fascinating history.

Admission is free, allowing visitors to explore the ancient walls, understand the importance of military fortifications in the region, and experience the fortress's unique atmosphere.

The ruins are located just a few minutes from the highline179 pedestrian bridge; however, the path and the ruins themselves are not wheelchair accessible.
