Klausenpass Blockhouse, Military fortress at Klausenpass, Switzerland
The Klausenpass Blockhouse stands at 1,948 meters elevation, featuring reinforced walls and strategic observation points for military defense purposes.
Built by the Swiss Army during the 20th century, this fortification formed part of Switzerland's national defense system to protect mountain passes.
The fortress represents Swiss military engineering principles, demonstrating the nation's commitment to maintaining neutrality through defensive installations.
Visitors can reach the blockhouse via the main road connecting Altdorf to Linthal, with access limited to summer months due to winter closures.
