In Morhange, night descends on the trenches
The Trenches of Terror
After the paths of a park, the setting changes completely. In Morhange, the trenches of the Espace Mémoriel become the setting for a night-time experience specially created for Halloween.
On 31 October, from 7 pm, visitors are invited to explore more than 2,000 m² of immersive trail. With sets, entertainment, challenges and surprises, the history of the site meets a world where darkness and mystery are an essential part of the experience.
Here, the trenches take on a very different atmosphere once night has fallen. This experience is reserved for adults and is aimed at those looking for a much more intense Halloween experience. Pre-registration is strongly recommended, as places are limited.

What if you switched off the lights completely?
The Galleries of Terror
For this final stop, there is no need to wait for nightfall. Twenty metres underground, darkness is already there.
At Halloween, the Bambesch galleries become the setting for a life-size escape game experience. For 1 hour 30 minutes, participants make their way through several areas where puzzles, immersive sets and surprises unfold in the underground tunnels of the fortification.
Narrow corridors, metal doors and buried galleries are already enough to make you forget what is happening outside. Add a few puzzles and an atmosphere specially created for Halloween, and losing your sense of direction becomes part of the experience.
For those who prefer to stay above ground, family activities also allow younger visitors to enjoy Beasts & Witches.
Before heading underground
Remember the daylight.
For 1 hour 30 minutes, you will make your way twenty metres underground. And no one can promise that every area will be perfectly lit.
Would you rather choose your own level of fright?
