The Fortress Belts, also known as Fortengordels, are a network of fortresses surrounding Antwerp. These military structures were built between 1859 and 1914 and serve as a testament to the strategic importance of Antwerp as a “National Reduit,” which would be the last refuge for the national government and armed forces.

These historic sites not only have historical significance but also offer a delightful experience for nature lovers. If you’re interested in both history and the outdoors, exploring the Fortress Belts is a great choice
