    Air raid shelter at Gronselenput


    During World War II, six air raid shelters in the municipality of Wijlre offered protection against air raids and bombardments. The shelter at this location was the largest, accommodating 470 people. It was intended for the hamlet of Etenaken, on the other side of the Geul River. To facilitate the crossing to their shelter, a temporary bridge was built over the Geul. The shelter was built thanks to contributions from the residents of Etenaken and was named "Keutobergia."

    Interesting to read what it was used for.
    Entering is no longer possible.

    Nestled among the trees is the air raid shelter at Gronselenput, a silent witness to times gone by. The hidden structure evokes a sense of history and offers a moment to reflect on the past.
    A place where nature and memory intertwine.
