Ouvrage Michelsberg, Military fortress of the Maginot Line in Ébersviller, France
The Michelsberg fortification extends 30 meters underground with a network of galleries that accommodated a functional railway transportation system.
Built between 1930 and 1935, this artillery fortification successfully repelled German attacks on June 22, 1940, before its garrison surrendered in July.
Since 1993, a group of dedicated volunteers maintains and conducts educational tours of this military heritage site every Sunday from April to September.
Visitors need to wear warm clothing while exploring the underground chambers, which maintain constant low temperatures throughout the year.
The fort retains its original power plant with functioning diesel engines and includes a 265-ton combat turret with a firing range of 12 kilometers.
