Along the road leading to the caserne is a firing range made up of elements found in the Maginot forts and casemates, mainly infantry and A-T embrasures.
From here we headed north through Denting and turned left on D954 to the base of the Foret d'Ottonville.
A couple of hundred metres back in the woods is the Casemate d'Artillerie du Bois d'Ottonville. I think this casemate, similar to the Casemate de Boverberg is definitely worth a visit. These were type RFM casemates built around 1937.
They were originally constructed to provide anti-tank cover using the 47mm Marine model but ended up with the 75mm model 1897, used in the earlier Bourges casemates.
The photos detail the overall scheme, the large embrasures, the interior showing the placement of the cannon and a small communications post.
From Ottonville we drove along the Maginot Line, crossed the Moselle near Koenigsmaker and found our way to the Ouvrage du Galgenberg.
