Sperrstelle Chlus, Military fortress in Graubünden, Switzerland.

The Sperrstelle Chlus fortress contains multiple bunkers, artillery positions, and underground tunnels positioned strategically within the mountainous terrain of eastern Switzerland.

Built between 1937 and 1942, this fortress formed an essential component of Swiss national defense strategies during World War II to prevent potential invasions.

The fortress represents Switzerland's military architectural heritage with its reinforced concrete structures, observation points, and integrated defense systems.

Visitors can access the fortress through guided tours that explain the military installations, defense mechanisms, and the daily operations of soldiers stationed there.

The fortress features a 160-meter-long infantry facility carved directly into the mountain rock, incorporating ammunition storage and artillery positions.
