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 Evegnée´

The fort Evegnée is the most eastern of the first 12 forts and is located about 9kms from 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.

On the area of this fort a business park 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 next to this tower. The way up may be slippy...
