    The Trou des Maquisards, located in Gaume near the village of Bleid, is a place steeped in history and memory. It is a natural cavity hidden in a wood, which served as a refuge for Belgian resistance fighters — the maquisards — during the Second World War.

      During the German occupation, this isolated hole was used as a hiding place by members of the local resistance. They found shelter there to gather, store equipment, or simply protect themselves from enemy patrols. The site bears witness to the courage and determination of these men and women who risked their lives for freedom.

      🌲 The site today: Accessible via a forest walk, the Trou des Maquisards is marked by a commemorative stele. The site invites contemplation and reflection, while offering a beautiful immersion in the Gaume nature. It is a moving stopover for hikers, history buffs, or those curious in search of authentic places.
