Bunker hiking route

The "Bunker hiking route" starts in the place called "Friedboesch", about 2.4 km above Schlindermanderscheid. During World War II, there were two bunkers in the nearby area. During the war, several young Luxembourgish conscientious objectors and deserters from the Nazi regime found shelter in one of these bunkers. From the end of May until September 10, 1944, the day of the liberation of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, no fewer than 17 people stayed here. The inhabitants of the neighboring villages supplied the hidden people with food, despite controls and supervision by German soldiers.
