Wolfsschlucht I, Military headquarters in Brûly-de-Pesche, Belgium
Description
Wolfsschlucht I is a military headquarters in Brûly-de-Pesche made up of reinforced bunkers, barracks, and a converted church spread across a wooded area. The site features marked walking paths that connect the various structures and command positions together.
History
The site was built in 1940 as a secret military command post and used for about three weeks in June as an operational headquarters. After being abandoned, the buildings were gradually restored and reintegrated into the landscape after the war ended.
Culture
Two reconstructed barracks display exhibitions about German occupation and local resistance through original objects and information displays. Visitors see how people lived under occupation and found ways to oppose it.
Practical
Wear sturdy shoes as the walking paths go through wooded terrain with some uneven ground. Guided tours in multiple languages are available and connect all the main locations of the complex.
Did you know?
A German landscape architecture team designed the surroundings with geometric elements and built a stone platform shaped like the Greek letter omega for official addresses. This carefully planned design shows how the location was meant to project power and authority.
