A major Maginot Line structure in terms of size and internal organization, to be discovered on the history train
This work is the most important of the Maginot Line by its size and the extent of its internal organization. It is the ideal place to understand everything about this very special defence barrier. Take the "history train" to explore reconstructions of the power station, ammunition store, artillery turret, barracks with rooms and kitchens. A true-to-life view of the operation and logistics of the time.

Message from Management
This imposing fort is one of Veckring's major attractions. It is one of the largest and most complex structures on the Maginot Line, built in the 1930s to defend France against invasion. A visit will immerse you in the fascinating history of this monument. Your guide will explain the details of the fort's construction, the living conditions of the soldiers, and the military operations that took place there. The tour also illustrates the importance of national defense and France's determination to protect its borders after the First World War. Explore the labyrinthine tunnels and impressive underground installations of the Hackenberg on foot or by small train. The fort extends over some 10 kilometers of galleries and includes 19 combat blocks.
A must-see for military history buffs.

Gros bémol le rythme de la visite se fait au pas de course !!! Le guide presse sans cesse les personnes d'avancer plus vite, commence les explications avant que toutes les personnes arrivent. Impossible de lire le moindre panneau...dommage !
La visite dure tout de même 3h et permet d'en apprendre davantage sur la ligne maginot.
Le petit train ne permet pas de voir quoique ce soit durant le trajet, juste de longs tunnels peu éclairés...mais bien sûr nous économise de nombreux pas !!!
Personnes avec jeunes enfants ou difficultés pour marcher, attention la visite est longue et se fait à une cadence élevée !!
A faire absolument
