Hackenberg Fort

Highlight • Historical Site

The Hackenberg Work is part of the Maginot line in France in the Lorraine region. You can make a presentation here. Takes about 3 hours. A unique experience. Everyone should experience it once. The turret is also demonstrated in action. Just awesome.

Hackenberg Fort – Personnel Entrance

Highlight • Historical Site

The Hackenberg structure is one of the largest fortifications of the Maginot Line in France. This gigantic underground complex, built between 1929 and 1935, is made up of 19 blocks connected by kilometers of tunnels. You can explore the surface of the site, where you will see the impressive anti-tank wall, the artillery casemates and the Hackenberg Chapel. You can also take a guided tour of the interior, aboard a small train, and discover the living quarters, the power station and the ammunition depot of the fort. The Hackenberg Ouvrage is a fascinating place to discover the history and technology of the interwar period.

View of Veckring

Highlight • Viewpoint

🌄 **View of Veckring – A village idyll between forest and fortress**

The **view of Veckring** offers a peaceful panorama of the Lorraine village, picturesquely nestled in a valley basin – surrounded by rolling hills, fields, and dense forests. Above, the famous **Ouvrage du Hackenberg** towers, its strategic location once watching over the valley.

🏘️ Veckring itself is quiet, with typical Lorraine houses and a small church square. The surrounding area is ideal for hikes with a view.

**Tip:** The ridge trail south of the village is particularly beautiful – there are several open spots with views over the rooftops of Veckring and across to the Moselle Valley. Ideal for a quiet rest with a panoramic view.
