Fort Predel, Military fort in Bovec, Slovenia
Fort Predel stands several hundred meters from Predel Pass as one of six fortifications in the Koroška defense system of northwestern Slovenia.
The fort witnessed intense combat in May 1809 during Napoleonic Wars, when French forces bombarded the structure, leading to significant casualties among defenders.
The fort includes a memorial dedicated to Captain Johann Hermann von Hermannsdorf and soldiers who perished during the 1809 French assault.
Visitors can observe remaining wall sections of the fort, which has not received maintenance or restoration work since World War I ended.
The structure changed functions in 1880 from an active fortification into a military storage facility after serving as a defensive position for decades.
