Walk through two world wars in bunkers and trenches … The Atlantikwall is one of the leading attractions at the Belgian coast and one of the two museums at Raversyde.
The over 60 bunkers, observation posts and artillery positions combined with two kilometres of open or subterranean corridors constitute one of the best preserved parts of the infamous German ‘Atlantikwall’. This defence line was built by the Germans during the Second World War and ran from the French-Spanish border to Norway. Thousands of bunkers were constructed to protect the ports and to prevent an Allied assault.
The Atlantikwall also features the only preserved German coastal battery from the First World War, namely the Aachen battery.
