Porta Rhaetica
Description
From 1216 to 1823 all traffic to and from Italy had to pass through the bottleneck of Juvalt. Abandoned around 1500, the dam experienced a renaissance as a military obstacle against the Axis Powers in 1940. The 700-year-old walls are complemented with tank obstacles. Deep in the rock, a fortress and vault for gold were built. From 2010 to 2013, the ensemble of four monuments of national significance are comprehensively secured. The Porta Rhaetica educational trail is freely accessible and leads to three information stations that tell the story of the four monuments in Porta Rhaetica.
Opening Hours
The historical ensemble on Polenweg in Rothenbrunnen is open all year round. The Porta Rhaetica nature trail leads through history with three information stations. The rest area with fireplace and fountain is open during the day.
