    The Westwall Trail takes you along a 50 centimetre wide concrete strip along the former defence system. This was built by Hitler during the Second World War and ran from the Dutch to the Swiss border over a length of 630 kilometres.

      Although it is really tiring to walk here, you should definitely do it.
