Inundation area at a glance...
This highlight is definitely worth a visit. On this site, a Belgian outpost bunker was expanded in 1915 on the old ruins of a damaged farm. This outpost bunker was located very strategically at 1 km in the inundation area. actually this place was an island in the middle of the flooded area.

Soldiers died on their way to the outpost for supplies or when relieving the observation post.
