The road that takes you up to the mountaintop of Rödberget, is a small serpentine road, twisty and narrow and partly blasted into the rock.
Do not worry about meetings; traffic down from the mountain takes a different route. Enjoy the journey instead, maybe fantasising about the people who used to work here defending one of the largest defense secrets in Sweden’s modern history. When you get to the top of the mountain you will find, besides a parking lot, a canteen where the guide tour starts. The tour that will take you from the canteen into the moat, deep into the mountain and the rooms there and the tour ends at the crown of the mountain.
The fort was served as a small community and those who lived and worked there could cope without contact with the outside world for a long period. In Rödberget Fortress you will find all furnishings and equipment left, which shows how the fort was used in everyday life and how it was supposed to work in combat.
