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 Barchon chez Blegny

The fort Barchon is located about 9kms north-eastern from the center of Liège. 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.

The fort is still intact and can be visited (information: 00 32 - (0) 87 67 94 70). The cache is located next to the entrance. From here you can also see the ventilation tower which was added when this fort was prepared for WWII.

The cache is hidden behind the memorial near the entrance.
