    Hiking

    The fortress was built at the end of the 19th century. Just like the Haideck plant on the other side of the valley, the fortress remained unmanned at the beginning of World War I, as it would not have withstood modern artillery bombardment anyway. Therefore, it was hardly damaged in battle.

    We could only see the fortress from the outside. Interesting information about it. 👍
