Discovery of an underground city equipped to support 173 men in Rohrbach-lès-Bitche.
The Maginot infantry structure was the guardian of the Rohrbach plateau. Its three surface blocks, two of which were used for fighting, are all open to visitors. At a depth of 25 m, you will discover a real underground city equipped to provide for 173 men. The tour takes you through the barracks, the ammunition bunkers and up to the combat block, then continues with the power plant, the dormitories, the barracks and the kitchens... Outside, the footpath links the entrance and combat blocks. A very interesting and instructive visit.

Owner's Message
Follow the guide and plunge 25 m underground to discover these ultra-modern facilities for the time: power plant, kitchen, barracks and telephone exchange are just some of the elements you will be able to see. The visit will continue with the discovery of a battle block and the setting in battery by the visitors of a 135 tons turret.
