On the outskirts of the village of Ormont, located in the far north of Rhineland-Palatinate, a short section of the hiking trail features the remains of tank traps (sometimes colloquially referred to as dragon's teeth). The Cologne Trojan Way of St. James and the Matthias Way pass along this route.

The Siegfried Line was a military defense system spread over about 630 km along the western border of the German Empire, which consisted of over 18,000 bunkers, tunnels and countless trenches and anti-tank barriers. It ran from Kleve on the Dutch border in a southerly direction to Grenzach-Wyhlen on the Swiss border. Source: Wikipedia

The so-called "cusp lines" are still clearly visible here. (cast concrete anti-tank barriers)
