Eben-Emael has been a museum since 1999 that can be visited on Sundays once a month. There are also guided tours in German.
The outdoor facilities are freely accessible. The traces of the at times very fierce battle for the fort are still obvious; all destroyed cannons and armor parts are still there.
Very close to the main entrance of the fort is the entrance to the tunnel leading to the Albert Canal. It had nothing to do with the fort, but only served as an underground entry and exit for trucks when the canal was enlarged. This meant that cumbersome serpentine journeys could be avoided.

The fort is located on the Albert Canal where you can make great bike rides along the river. The fort, steeped in history, is definitely worth a visit!
