🛡️ **Abri des Chênes Brûlés – Hidden Shelter of the Maginot Line**

The **Abri des Chênes Brûlés** (German: "Shelter of the Burnt Oaks") is hidden in the forest near **Kemplich** and was part of the French **Maginot Line**. It served as an **underground shelter for infantry units** stationed along the line.

🕳️ The concrete bunker is partially overgrown but still clearly recognizable – with typical features such as loopholes, ventilation openings, and massive steel reinforcements. Today, it is not accessible, but visible from the outside and impressively preserved.

**Tip:** The shelter is quietly located on the edge of the forest – ideal as a quiet, historic stopover on a hike through the former defense area. Please treat it with respect – it is a place of military-historical significance.
