    Hiking

    As a result of the increasing threat in the years before WWII broke out, a defense line was built around Ghent. The bunkers were given the colors of the landscape or were camouflaged by making them look like houses or barns.
    This defense line collapsed quite quickly after the German invasion in 1940: the armament and supplies proved insufficient. Currently, there are still about 180 bunkers preserved in the landscape.
