The Fort of Brasschaat, located near Antwerp, is a historic defensive structure built between 1909 and 1912 as part of the Defence Line of Antwerp. The fort is a protected nature reserve and serves as a hibernation site for several bat species, with over 700 hibernating bats. Although the fort is not freely accessible, guided walks are occasionally organised, and there are several walking routes in the area that explore the unique combination of nature and history.
