Must see
It is a Must do. Very impressive to see and feel what was lived.
Une visite incroyable extrêmement bien organisée et complète
Bonjour, Nous avons passé un super moment au Fort de Schoenenbourg. La visite était libre et très bien organisée. Pas de guide qui s'écoute et qui passe des heures à parler... Bravo et merci beaucoup
Un site incroyable
Le complexe est impressionnant par sa taille mais le parcours est très bien fait avec des panneaux clairs et pertinents. Bravo aux petites mains qui entretiennent le fort et accueillent les visiteurs.
