In the 19th century (1887 - 1892) 12 forts were built around Liège
(Lüttich / Luik) to protect this important city against attackers
from each direction. For WWII 4 more forts were added. This is one
of these 12 + 4 forts around Liège: The fort Lantin AKC?Š??
The fort Lantin is located about 7kms in the northern west of the
center of Liège. It's area is only about 6 hectare so it is one of
the smaller ones. It is formed like a triangle to minimize the
attackable surface of walls.
The fort is partly still intact. On the outside one can make a
pik-nik and next to the street there is a mountainbike-parcour. The
Fort can be visited and in a multimedia-show the history of a fort
is shown.
The cache is located next to the memorial near the entrance.
