Mysterious Underground Tunnels and Bunkers for the Adventurous Traveler
21. The Maginot Line – France’s Forgotten Military Stronghold
Stretching across the eastern border of France, the Maginot Line was a vast network of underground fortifications built in the 1930s to defend against German invasion. Though its defenses ultimately proved ineffective during World War II, the tunnels remain an impressive engineering marvel. Beneath the rolling French countryside, visitors can explore bunkers, artillery stations, and command centers, all interconnected by underground railways. Some sections have been transformed into museums, preserving the eerie, battle-worn atmosphere of a fortress meant to withstand the horrors of war.
