Artilleriewerk Bödeli, Military fortress in Interlaken, Switzerland.
The Artilleriewerk Bödeli comprises five fortified positions constructed between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz to protect the strategic mountain passage.
Built between 1896 and 1901, this military complex served as a defense post during both World Wars and remained operational through the Cold War.
The fortress represents Swiss military engineering excellence with its network of tunnels, gun positions, and command centers carved into mountain rocks.
Visitors can now explore two sections of the fortress complex, Kammfluh and Goldey, through scheduled guided tours arranged in advance.
The fortress includes metal ladders attached directly to cliff faces, which military personnel used to access different defensive positions during operations.
