On one of Rick's shows he visits Interlaken then goes to visit some WWII Swiss military installations that are hidden in the barns and in the mountains. These are now open to public as museums. I believe they are in the JungFrau region. We would like to visit these installations, could anyone tell us where they are and how to access them. Any costs? Or any info is appreciated.
Thanks

You might try this: http://www.festung-waldbrand.ch/index.html
Use google translate as the site is in German.
It is near Beatenberg which can be reached by Post Bus from Interlaken West station.

I believe the one that Rick featured in his guidebooks is Fortress Furigen. www.nidwaldner-museum.ch

Here is a map/portal to most of the Swiss national fortress. Individual web sites are listed when you click on the icons. I spent a couple of not very pleasant months underground in #17.
