After a good climb you arrive at:
Viewpoint from the Butte de Marlemont (292 m).
From the end of 1941 it housed one of the 15 Hertzian stations of the BERNHARD system deployed by the Wehrmacht in the occupied zones (including 7 in France).
At the top of this hill was a BERNHARDT guidance system known as FuSAn724/725, which was used by Luftwaffe fighter planes in their mission to intercept bombers. This 'VHF beacon' on Marlemont was identified by the code "Be6". It was sabotaged by the German army on 05.09.44. Invented in the midst of "gulf warfare" by Telefunken, this system foreshadowed modern air navigation aids.
The statue of the Virgin was moved by the Germans during World War II. This statue was replaced after the war, at the top of Bernhard's round building
Huge panorama over the Ardennes! Picnic tables and benches have been set up to appreciate this view in a wooded setting.
