Fort Claudia, Part of Burgenwelt Ehrenberg

Fort Claudia lies on a opposing mountain of Ehrenberg Castle, it was once used for the recapturing of the castle. The fort was built from 1639 to 1645 and named after Claudia de Medici, the Archduchess of Tyrol. It was closed down in 1782 after the fort was taken by the Bavarians and was left uninhabited from that time.

If you wish to visit Fort Claudia you can use Highline 179 from the Ehrenberg Castle ruins or use a hiking trail from Heiterwang leading to the fort.

Location: (from Highline 179) Klause 1, 6600 Reutte, Austria.
