The bunker walk takes you through meadows and woods to a former bunker complex dating back to the Second World War.

The bunker walk near Montal combines a varied landscape with a fascinating chapter of contemporary history. The complex was planned following the annexation of Austria by Germany in 1938 and built between 1939 and 1941 as part of the ‘Vallo Alpino Littorio’.

Bunker No. 10 was once part of a military defence system and was equipped with artillery and machine guns. Today, the bunker lies quietly and almost hidden within the landscape, serving as a reminder of a chapter in recent history that is often barely visible in everyday life. It is precisely this contrast that makes the tour particularly appealing: whilst you walk through the peaceful countryside around Montal, you gain an insight into a little-known chapter of recent history.
