Intro
Infantry fieldworks with command post and 4 MG emplacements
Fortress Etzel East was built as part of the réduit in the inner part of Etzel during World War 2. The army wanted to ensure that at least part of Switzerland could be held. The once secret fortification had the task of sealing off access via the old pilgrims' path to Einsiedeln.
On a guided tour, the history of the réduit during World War II is conveyed in a way that is suitable for the general public. Visitors learn who was to be stopped and where, and can guess what the men of arms accomplished at that time. They discover the fortress with the machine gun fighting stands, the command wing, the accommodation wing as well as the various side rooms (radio niches, engine room, ammunition niche).
A guided tour lasts about an hour and is conducted from one person. Maximum 5 persons per tour.
