Today, we visited two Maginot sites and a pretty run-down industrial site near Bouzonville.

Abri du Bois de Klang

First, we visited the Abri du Bois de Klang, a small bunker for around 100 people. Like at many other Maginot sites, the bridge leading to the entrance has been demolished when the site was disused, but some explorers (or maybe copper thiefs) built a makeshift bridge from trees - a fragile, but somehow viable way to enter the site.

The dormitories feature some paintings (fresks) depicting a view out of a window, because by the nature of the accomodation, that's what was missing most for the soldiers spending weeks and months below ground.

The corridors are partially under water, and one of the stair cases had turned into a waterfall due to melting snow. We managed to keep our feet dry although we did not use rubber boots.

Atelier de Bouzonville

The industrial site we visited in the afternoon was a pretty run-down one, consisting of a big hall, a power station and something that looks like an office building.

We were looking for a geocache here, which was a fun adventure, but not very exciting urbex-wise. Niklas chose to chill out on top of a toilet chamber.

Petit ouvrage de Berenbach

Our last visit was to the Petit ouvrage de Berenbach. The unique attribute about this site is that it was never finished - an unfinished building from the 1930s! One of the blocks was discontinued when the staircase was drilled, but before adding any stairs; the second one has stairs, but those were also discontinued (leaving out the handrails) hald way down. Going down there was probably the most spooky adventure today.
