Fort du Salbert, Military fortress in Belfort, France
Fort du Salbert stands at 650 meters elevation northwest of Belfort, featuring underground galleries connecting different sections of the military complex.
The fortress was constructed between 1874 and 1877 as part of the Séré de Rivières defense system to protect France from potential invasions through Alsace.
The fortress represents French military engineering excellence from the late 19th century with its advanced defensive architecture and strategic positioning.
Visitors can access the fort through marked paths leading to its entrance, with parking available at the base of Salbert hill.
The fort incorporated an optical semaphore system to communicate with other fortifications in the Belfort region during its operational period.
