Hiking

The Fortified Position of Liège 1 was part of a vast network of fortifications intended to protect the country from enemy invasion. The orientation table leans against this former "bunker" and offers a magnificent panorama. Hand carved from one ton blue stone 1.5 meters in diameter, this orientation table is also readable for the visually impaired!

Hiking

The MN18 Observation Bunker is part of the first line of defense of the Position Fortifiée de Liège (PFL), a network of bunkers built in the 1930s to defend Belgium against a German invasion. MN18 was the 18th bunker in the Margarins-Neufchâteau sector and equipped with an FM turret, recognizable by its tapered shape. During the German attack in May 1940, the bunker was destroyed by a 50 kg shaped charge placed on top of the turret, just where the periscope was located. The damage is still visible, making MN18 a tangible reminder of World War II.
