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 Liers

The fort Liers is the most northern of the first 12 forts and is located about 6.5kms 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 today there is a firm located, but the old entrace is still existing. You can drive around the fort, but the way can be very bad depending to the weather conditions.

The cache is located between the two entrances, next to the wall.
