This bunker is one of several in Bettlach. Like the others, it can be viewed inside. Since it's pitch black, a flashlight is recommended. There's also a bunker trail that takes you to two more bunkers in the forest.

Yes, getting through here requires some leg power and steering skills. Depending on the past weather, the wide path can be so muddy that it's almost impassable. BUT right next to it, there's a small singletrack trail that allows for good progress.

The medieval Rotberg Castle sits majestically above the treetops. It has been a youth hostel since its conversion in 1935.

The Bettlach casemate bears witness to the presence of the Maginot Line at this location. Designed to protect France from German invasion during the Second World War, it has two 75 mm cannons.
