The Maginot line info please

[jjdugen]

Hi all

Putting together next May's run to the Mosel Valley and my Nurburgring sessions.
I noticed that the Mosel valley runs through to Thionville and that one of the Maginot line forts there that has been preserved.
Has anyone been around the fort, what are the opening hours/days, anything else I should know?

Cheers

Apparently the best place to see the Maginot line is the Hackenberg fortress, plenty of information around if you search but here's a good start

I'm going mid July next year after spending a few days doing 1st world war stuff around Ypres.
A really good book is "the Maginot line 1928-45" by Osprey publishing

The Maginot line takes ages to get through - best to go around it via Belgium.

It is open most days, there is a web site for the hackenberg fort with all the info, opens about 10am, various tours in english, french and german. Takes a few hours.

About 10 euros per person, it's cold inside, whatever the weather is doing outside, you'll need a coat.

I took a BCF group there a couple of years ago and everyone enjoyed it, worth a visit if you are interested in that sort of thing.
