An exciting, informative and incredible visit. - An AMAZING and fantastic visit! The experience of French soldiers in this type of fort is better understood. What modernism for 1930! The association that manages the site, maintains it in an exceptional way. Some mechanisms are still working! A long visit of 2h30 - 3h, with a guide very pleasant to listen and which does not count his time. You can't see time going by. Cover and avoid fragile clothing, 12 degrees and moisture.

Unique experience - A beautiful experience... if there was a self-guide or brochure in Italian would be the top. The guide speaks French too fast

Very informative visit - A stone's throw from Hackenberg, the Michelsberg's structure is smaller but has the largest eclipse turret (265 tons) in manual working order. The Rémy guide is ungluable on the site.

What a magnificent discovery - An exceptional and unknown site, full of history told with passion by volunteers. To see absolutely, it is worth a detour

Looking back in time - Two hours in the underworld: A hike through an underground bastion, on the way functional and also switched on power generators, and lots of interesting information.

Outstanding Maginot line bunker tour - Outstanding, detailed tour of fort including generator running and climb to top of 135 mm gun. Impressive restoration of living and working quarters. Very cold - bring winter dress for 30 deg F. English guide book available. Don't miss this!!

An unmissable visit that allows you to understand what the Maginot line was. - The two people who welcomed us were enthusiasts. The visit was very informative and interesting. Thank you to these two volunteers who don’t count their time and spare no effort to preserve this memory and who pass on their knowledge with such enthusiasm.

Worth seeing and positive - Audio guide in German would be desirable to make the impressions appear even more tangible. Nevertheless, the tour was very, as the gentleman who led the tour tried very hard.
