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. The Brialmont fortress belt, consisting of eight fortresses, forms part of the Defense Line of Antwerp. 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
