The MN18 Observation Bunker is part of the first line of defense of the Position Fortifiée de Liège (PFL), a network of bunkers built in the 1930s to defend Belgium against a German invasion. MN18 was the 18th bunker in the Margarins-Neufchâteau sector and equipped with an FM turret, recognizable by its tapered shape. During the German attack in May 1940, the bunker was destroyed by a 50 kg shaped charge placed on top of the turret, just where the periscope was located. The damage is still visible, making MN18 a tangible reminder of World War II. Right next to the bunker is the Knuppelstock orientation table, an impressive work of blue limestone with a diameter of 1.5 meters and weighing approximately one ton. The relief of the surrounding landscape is engraved on it based on data from the National Geographic Institute, with bronze details indicating the visible points. The table is also accessible for the visually impaired thanks to its tactile elements. The project, carried out by local organizations such as Qualité-Village-Wallonie and the municipality of Aubel, is unique in Belgium.

At this point, history and landscape converge. The MN18 observation bunker, a silent witness to the Second World War, still stands as a reminder of a turbulent period. From the bunker, you also have a unique view of the surrounding hilly landscape. Next to the bunker is the Knuppelstock orientation table, a platform that indicates the names and directions of villages, hills, and landmarks in the area. It's an ideal spot to get to know the region better and to enjoy a panoramic view of the border area between the Netherlands and Belgium.

The Lion, created by Félix-Antoine Bouré, is one of the major attractions. Height: 13.5m – her weight: 130 tons. 183 blocks that fit together like a puzzle were completely dismantled and rebuilt to mark the raising of the dam. The lion looks in the direction of Eupen, then Prussia, barely 5 kilometers away. Source: https://www.tourismejalhaysart.be/nl/attraction/barrage-du-lac-de-la-gileppe-jalhay-hautes-fagnes-spa/

This work of art, made from granite, was the first of its kind in Belgium. The dam was built between 1867 and 1875. Between 1967 and 1971 it was consolidated and the capacity of the reservoir was increased to 26.4 million m³ of water. The lake is fed by the Gileppe, the Louba and the Soor. Two 75m high collection towers direct the water to turbines. The famous Lion, created by Félix-Antoine Bouré, is one of the major attractions.

Founded in 1216 by Cistercian monks. The Abbey of Our Lady of Val-Dieu is a haven of peace in the heart of the Herve country. It is located in the middle of the Liège-Maastricht-Aachen triangle. Since the departure of the monks in 2001, the abbey has been revived by the Christian Community of Val-Dieu. You can also go there for a snack and a drink.

The Mill of the Abbey of Val Dieu is a water mill with an overshot wheel, located on the Berwijn. It was built before 1216. The current building was built in 1716 and 1731. Today you will find a shop and brasserie here. It is located opposite the abbey and since 2010 a nature reserve has been developed next to it.

Val-Dieu is an ancient Cistercian abbey in the Belgian province of Liège. The beautiful sanctuary is located in the land of Herve, not far from the Dutch and German borders. In Dutch the complex is called the Abbey of Godsdal. Val-Dieu was founded in the thirteenth century, more precisely in the year 1216. The complex used to be in the middle of forests and marshes and wolves prowled everywhere. “Ora et labora” (pray and work) was the motto of the clergy of Val-Dieu. From the original abbey, a gate, the sacristy, two chapels and a holy water font have been preserved. Today, beer bearing the abbey's name is also brewed in the complex. You can also eat there, get a guided tour and visit the abbey shop. There is a nature reserve near the abbey, managed by Natagora, and you can take many beautiful walks in the nearby rolling coulisse landscape of the region.
