    Here the path leads directly through the remains of the west wall. On the left and right are innumerable concrete tank locks to be discovered in the forest and thicket. It's nice to see how nature regains this madness.

    Adolf Hitler had the West Wall planned from 1936 and built from 1938 to 1940. It was 630 kilometers long and ran from Kleve on the Lower Rhine to Basel. By 1940, 14,000 bunkers had been built, complemented by 167 kilometers of tank emplacements.
