Fort Kluže and fort Hermann

Again I and my colleague visited Soča valley. Again I've visited the sites of WW1

A view from Kota 1313, Austro hungarian artillery observation post toward Rombon 2208 m (not visible) mountain where the frontline passed.


Observation post was overlooking Bovec (which was held by italian troops) and the frontline just outside of the town.



Fort Hermann upper fort, that was put out of action at the start of the war.

HDR image from machine gun post in fort Hermann. Fort Hermann was the upgraded a little bit by drilling bunkes beneath the fort into the solid rock. Installing were two machine gun emplacemnts with an artillery turret aswell.

Front view of Hermann. Now the turret emplacements are overgrown with greens

Part of the fort that was blown of by a direct hit.

Inside the fort.

Fort kluže, that is guarding the road from Predel pass. This one was intact the whole war beacuse it was on the blind spot for the Italian artyllery.
