Hiking

You don't need a lot of equipment here. The tour can be done in normal everyday clothes. It would be advisable to take a flashlight with you to take a closer look at the bunkers (it is expressly stated that the bunkers are not allowed to be entered, just for information purposes)
I hope you have fun exploring

Hiking

At this point there is a West Wall bunker that has been blown up. A little further ahead, in the area of the information signs, you can see a cover hole with an approach trench. From this point you had a clear field of fire. The West Wall, which was built between 1937 and 1940 over a length of around 650 km, is still very present here in the border area with Belgium and Luxembourg.
