      Toured the Maginot Line Fort de Schoenenbourg in early October. It was a group tour. The tour guide was excellent, spoke perfect English. Toured the entire fort complex including the living quarters, kitchen, medical area and the gun turrets. Turret was operational and several of us were given the opportunity to cranking the canon up into position. The entire fort was carved into a hill. The interior includes 2,800 meters of underground halls and corridors at a depth of 30 meters underground. Amazing construction that took place after WWI but was mostly made obsolete due to the airplane but was still manned until the armistice took effect. A lot of walking and cool temperature but well worth the time especially if you're a history buff.

      I decided to take this tour as I was in the area and read about it on a flyer in my hotel, the tour can be in 3 languages, mine being in English. It was long but detailed and informative, the tour guide Michel Klein spoke great English and was happy to answer questions. If you go take warm clothes as it is cold down there and the thing lasted 3 hours. A lot of walking. I would recommend it to people who are interested in the 2nd world war I came away amazed at all the work that went into building and stocking this fort

      Le Fort de Schoenenbourg was one of the highlights of my holiday.The place is absolutely massive, there are a lot of rooms that are just bunk rooms but the other areas are amazing to see. The sheer scale of the site is overwhelming.The gun positions and guns still there are enormous, the shells that they fired are massive.Well worth a visit if you are interested in underground structures / world war historyFriendly guy at the ticket desk who suggested other sites to visit alsoHighly recommended

      Count at least 3 hour for this visit. it is cold there 12 deg C. There is a lot of walking, 3 km if you want visit turrets with guns. Do not hesitate ask guides - they are very enthusiastic and able give different informations about history and life and operations in this fortress. Guides speaks french and german.

      We spent over 3 hours exploring the underground facilities of this Maginot Line fort. The entire complex has been kept in very good condition and there are enough tunnels and rooms to keep you busy and enthralled for an afternoon. Entry cost is also very modest. Unfortunately, our visit coincided with an 'art' exhibition entitled "Underground" to celebrate (or denigrate) the 100th anniversary of the start of the first world war. To be quite honest, the artistic items were irrelevant and puerile. They were a significant distraction to what the fort was offering: namely, an understanding of what people were thinking back in the 1930s and what the defenders at the beginning of WW2 must have gone through when the Germans attacked this section of France. The sooner this display is removed, the better. But don't let it stop you from visiting. The fort is well worth a visit.

      We marveled at the ingenuity of the times of those who conceived and built what was France's grand-oeuvre to resist future attacks from Germany after the devastating toll of WWI. As you descend (via a modern elevator) into the ground some 30 meters below the surface, you enter into the lives of the men who once inhabited this underground world. We took a self-guided tour before the regular season got up to full steam. There were various multi-media shows that had not yet been placed into service that would have made the experience even more enjoyable. Too bad for us. Placards in French, German and English describe the many interesting aspects of the fort. We would arrange for a guided tour next time around. Dress warmly because of the cool damp conditions below. And be prepared to walk.

      Fascinating historic site constructed just after WWI to prevent a future German invasion. This site is just a small segment of the Maginot Line. The facilities are meticulously preserved and maintained by volunteers. There is a significant amount of walking to be done if the entire site is visited. I estimated about 2-2.5 miles total. Due to the structure's depth, I highly recommend a coat or light jacket for comfort. It is incredible to imagine so many soldiers living in such tight quarters under ground. The scope of this bunker is very extensive. We had a 20-25 minute drive from Strasbourg to access the site. It is well worth the trip and I very much recommend a visit if in the area.

      A group of 15 went on a guided tour of this historic place. Our guide, Michel Klein, was great about keeping us on track and answering any/all questions. At some points on the tour, there were children being a little noisy, but Michel quickly silenced them...with a stern tone. The items inside this historic site are amazing. On the outside you see the markings where bullets hit the outside walls, and on the inside you see and feel the coldness of the times it was in use. Make sure you wear a good pair of walking shoes. I planned on using my flip-flops (August) but glad I changed into a pair of sneaker type shoes. Even though there's an elevator taking you down to the tour level...there's quite a bit of walking and narrow passages that allow you to see and feel how cramped and tight quarters were. At some points they also play recordings to take you back in time and try to let you get a sense of what it was like during the fully operational period of this fort. You will also need something to wear, such as a jacket, as the temperature is a steady 13°C year-round on the tour level. We went in August (really warm up top, the entrance) and they still offered blankets for anyone visiting. Again, highly recommend a guide, a good pair of walking shoes, and a coat (long sleeved sweatshirt). Allow at least 2 hours for a tour, you will not be disappointed, nor will it feel like 2 hours. I am not a guide, nor am I affiliated with tour guides or this location, but our group did tip Michel because he was such a wonderful guide and took his time with us. He allowed us to check out areas and still keep us on a generous schedule.

      Highly recommended to anyone interested in history and looking for something different to visit. The fort emerges from the trees as you approach it via some sleepy villages, around 20 mins north of Strasbourg. The entry fee is only 7 Euros for adults for around a 2.5 hour visit. After entering you can take a lift or the stairs down 30 metres where a large tunnel runs about 1km long in an almost straight line, so be prepared to walk - wear comfy shoes and take a warm jacket. It's not freezing down there but after two hours in the slighly damp and old air, it gets chilly. Check opening times before you go - on the weekend we went there were morning and afternoon fixed opening times, but perhaps this is seasonal as it was the end of October.

      A bit of WWII history: the engineering involved in the construction and maintenance of this structure is impressive. The details about the every day life of soldiers living in this bunker is fascinating. A great visit, highly recommended.
