Blockhouse Trail

Along the Blockhouse trail...
This circuit is sign-posted and very educational about the belt of fortifications built for the 1st World War. You also get some magnificent views overlooking the area and Biblenhof farm (1750).

Mutzig Fort

As the staunchest fortification in Europe before 1918, Kaiser Wilhelm II Fort is a monument to the state-of-the-art military technology of that era. It could house up to 6,500 men in wartime. Built from 1893 to 1918, Mutzig Fort is the only site in Northern Alsace that takes you back to the 1914-18 War and the fighting that took place 1914.
Mutzig was built for war, but today pays homage to peace.
