Fort Hermann
Hermanova utrdba
A WWI fort ruin on the hillside above Kluže, its shell-battered thick walls and gun emplacements open for exploration.
Fort Hermann was built around 1900 as the upper battery above Kluže Fortress. In WWI it was heavily shelled by Italian forces before being abandoned. Today only shell-pocked concrete and stone walls, gun positions and passageways remain. From beside Kluže Fortress, follow the old military track uphill for about 30 minutes. Entry is free and unsupervised. The interior is dim, so bring a headlamp, and watch your footing and for falling rocks. It is one of the more adventurous WWI sites along the Path of Peace.
