We write 1915, except for the Westhoek all of Belgium is occupied. There is a stalemate over a 600 km front from the west coast at Nieuwpoort to the Swiss border. The German occupier fears that they could be attacked from the back by the Allies via the Netherlands. They decide to build a defense line from Antwerp to deep into the Kempen. The line is ready in 1917. This eventually fell into oblivion until the aerial photographs of Josef Zimmermann were discovered in 2007. Now you can discover more than 4.8 km of forgotten lines in the Mastenbos. Have fun walking.
