When nature covers the war.
When nature covers the war.
Today I went for a walk. I'm rediscovering my own environment. Nature, culture & art (or art) are the things that fascinate me every time. And if there is also a bit of history involved, I enjoy my walks twice as much. This week I was walking with an acquaintance and today I walked back a bit to better
and to take a different path. Was it beautiful weather of the week, today the sun failed but despite that it was wonderful running weather. What a nice place to be when autumn starts. If you want to know what I came across this week, you can read it in the blog I'm adding here.
When I made the aforementioned walk I came along a part of the Westwall.
The Westwall, along the western border of the German Empire (also called the Siegfriedlinie by the Allies), was a spread over about 630 km of military defense system consisting of more than 18,000 bunkers, underground corridors, numerous trenches and anti-tank blockers. It ran from Kleve on the Dutch border southwards to the Swiss border. Over time, small, fascinating biotopes have emerged in the concrete enclosed areas of the hump line (Höckerlinie).
