    These anti-tank barriers were erected between 1936 and 1939 to prevent Allied tanks from advancing. The Siegfried Line marked the border of what was then the German Empire; there were also thousands of bunkers and tunnels here. Today these monstrous structures are covered with moss and overgrown with forest.

      in the valley of the Prether stream below Hellenthal-Hollerath a part of the "hump line" of the "Westwall" has been preserved. He should close the valley in a narrow place.
