The KW line was built just before the Second World War. One of the defense lines that Belgium had to protect against a German invasion. More than 400 bunkers were located along this line from Koningshooikt to Waver (hence: KW line). Most bunkers have now disappeared, but you can still see many remains in the landscape. On our walk we pass bunker LW3, as a silent witness in the landscape.
