for the photo, landmark of the border with our upstairs neighbors

Unfortunately, it's only accessible on special occasions. It's worth taking photos from the outside.

Breathe in and breathe out forest. Beautiful!

This type of Belgian lock bunker had to guard the locks that kept the water level in the 'Antwerp anti-tank ditch' at the right level.

The Fort of Stabroek may have seen little action during the two world wars, but now Stafort organizes countless adventures. From paintball to disc golf, Stabroek has something for everyone.

So beautiful every time again, here the wind is already starting to play a bit.

In August 1914, the fort was at full strength when approximately 500 men were stationed there. They were under the command of Kommandant Jean Vogels. In the end, there was not much action because the fort was evacuated when Antwerp was occupied by the Germans. Kommandant Jean Vogels was appointed Honorary Major on 19 October 1923. In 1917, the fort became part of the German defence line. After the First World War, the fort was modernised. Overpressure chambers against gas attacks and an anti-tank ditch were installed. Again, it was all for nothing because the fort was evacuated on 17 May 1940. After World War II, the fort was used by the Belgian Mine Clearance Service to destroy explosives, mines and ammunition.

This Antitank Canal is located here in the Mastenbos. The water now looks peaceful and idyllic among the forests, but its origins are much less peaceful. The canal is a remnant of WWII, when it was constructed to stop a possible attack with armored vehicles.
