The anti-tank barriers of the "Aachen Presentation", which is part of the West Wall, run over the forest-free height at the "Hollerather Knie" (starting point of the Eifel track "Westwall"). To the rear there are numerous blown up and overground bunkers.
This bunker is a little off the Eifel Spur "Westwall" in the forest. Numerous stalactites have formed inside the bunker over the past decades. The small detour to visit the remains of the bunker is definitely worthwhile.
