North Battery, Fort de Guentrange

Although originally built in the 19th century this is a very impressive part of the Maginot Line as you see the canons pointing out from their high vantage point. Quite a formidable sight.

🧱 **Northern Battery – The Hidden Wing of Fort de Guentrange**The **Northern Battery** is the northern section of Fort de Guentrange – sheltered in the forest above Thionville. It was part of the fort's outer defenses and served to secure the north side with guns, dugouts, and observation posts.🌲 Today, the battery lies quietly in the countryside – many of the concrete structures, ditches, and ventilation shafts are still visible, some overgrown. An exciting place for explorers and history buffs.**Tip:** Bring sturdy shoes – the path leads through rough terrain. Particularly interesting for anyone who wants to experience a piece of hidden military history off the beaten track.
