Description

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 Fléron

The fort Fléron is located about 8km south-eastern of Liége. It's area is about 12 hectare so it is one of the bigger ones. It is formed like a triangle to minimize the attackable surface of walls.

On the area of this fort a housing estate has been built. You can still see the hillock which is typical for every fort. The only part which can still bee seen is the ventilation tower which was added when this fort was prepared for WWII.

The cache is located nearby this tower.

Additional hint

[ENGL] foot of a tree - do not move the stones (sharp!)
[FR] pied d'un arbre - ne pas deplacer les pierres (aigu!)
