The bunkers at the Antitankgracht consist of lock bunkers with the associated subsidiary bunkers. The lock bunkers are elongated freestanding bunkers with a large blank wall, camouflaged by eggs, and served to keep the water level in the anti-tank ditch at the correct height.

These types of Belgian lock bunkers had to guard the locks that kept the water level in the 'Antwerp anti-tank ditch' up to standard. Eggs promote the growth of moss on the bunker and provide natural camouflage.

You will find lock bunkers at various locations along the Antitankgracht route.
Here you are at a historic location that was part of the Defense Line of Antwerp WW2.
