Visit the underground barracks with a self-guided walking tour

Follow a set route at your own pace

The underground barracks and museum area are fully wheelchair accessible.
The part of the underground galleries visited with these tours is possible, but there are slopes, so helper support is required.
Visiting an artillery casemate, a gun turret or the superstructure of the fort is unfortunately not possible for wheelchair users and is not suitable for visitors with limited mobility or suffering from pre-existing heart conditions or recent surgery.

The underground barracks and museum are heated. In the corridor system and bunkers, there is a constant temperature of 11°C. Warm clothing is strongly recommended. We also recommend closed footwear.
