    Hiking

    The West Wall ran along the western border of the German Empire and was known to the Allies as the Siegfried Line. It consisted of over 18 thousand bunkers, tunnels as well as countless trenches and anti-tank barriers and was mainly built between 1936 and 1939.
    The anti-tank barriers were built for many kilometers along the West Wall and because of their shape they were also called the hump line or dragon's teeth. Source: eifelfuehrer.de/index.php/touristische-ziel/neuere-geschichte/panzersperren-am-westwall.html
