About this activity

From 1870 to 1945, Alsace was a major war zone between France and Germany. Through this circuit, we will discover the history of Alsatians once German, once French. We will discover remnants of these wars and will make a visit to Struthof (concentration camp at 900 meters altitude), concentration camp of Nazi Germany. For a bit of lightness, we will push our end of the circuit on one of the most beautiful panoramas of Alsace and Christian Mont Saint Odile. It is important to have a waterproof jacket depending on the weather.

Itinerary

Mutzig Fort

3 hours Admission included

The Mutzig fort is located 20 minutes from Strasbourg. Built in 1893, this fort built under the Emperor of Prussia and Germany (William 2) was never actually used despite its cost. Perfectly located on the heights with a 360° view of the Alsace plain and the Vosges mountains, the fortification could accommodate up to 7,000 men. Discover this perfectly preserved labyrinth and this city / underground life by transforming yourself into a German soldier for a few hours. Remember to cover yourself, temperature of barely 12°C but dry :)
