The statue was stolen. On November 29, 2023, only the empty base was visible.

Swedish Redoubt

Highlight • Viewpoint

The section before the Schwedenschanze was probably the most Alpine part of the track. Single trail and quite steep slopes (coming from the north). Very beautiful in dry weather with good visibility.
