First, we pass by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landofmemory.eu\/en\/sites-historiques\/fort-lantin\/\">Fort Lantin <\/a>, one of the region&#8217;s unmissable sites. Indeed, it is the only fort of the Fortified Position of Li\u00e8ge to have remained in its original state of 1914.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.landofmemory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Fort-de-Lantin-&#xA9;Land-of-Memory-1-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9879\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 Land of Memory<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.landofmemory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Fort-de-Lantin-&#xA9;Land-of-Memory-4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9875\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 Land of Memory<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>We then continue by the castle of Waroux, classified as an exceptional heritage site of Wallonia. Apart from the exhibitions, groups can visit the castle only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chateau-waroux.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>on reservation <\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Last stop: the National Necropolis of Fort Loncin, a symbol of the Battle of Li\u00e8ge and the heroism of Belgium facing the German attack in 1914. It is preserved in the state which followed its destruction due to the German bombardments. The sight of the wholly overturned fire domes in the middle of staggering craters allows one to imagine the firepower of the Big Bertha guns: a setting and a story that leaves no one untouched. To learn more, a visit to the fort and the museum is possible and allows you to relive the disastrous explosion of the fort.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.landofmemory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Fort-loncin&#xA9;FTPL-P.-Fagnoul-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9911\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 FTPL P.
