Verdun is a very beautiful city that has been very important since the Middle Ages. It's lovely to walk through the place and admire it.

Fort Duomont is an interesting historical site. Here you can practically feel the claustrophobia the soldiers must have experienced while fighting here. It's also impressive to think how many died trying to capture this hill.

You can walk all the way around the ramparts. We found it unique and impressive. The museum was also interesting.

It is nice to see that the water level of the canal is much higher than the water level of the stream.

Nice gravel along the Maas side. You will find here now and then a bank and now and then a lock. Also striking how much higher the water of the canal is compared to the water of the stream.

This impressive American WWI memorial was dedicated in 1937 to commemorate the victory of the American First Army during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive (26 September – 11 November 1918). The 54-metre-high Doric granite column, designed by John Russell Pope, is topped by a statue symbolising liberty. The monument stands on the hill of Montfaucon, where a medieval monastery once stood and where the Americans achieved a strategic victory in 1918.

The Ossuary of Douaumont is an impressive memorial that holds the remains of more than 130,000 unknown French and German soldiers who died during the Battle of Verdun (1916). The bones are visible through small windows in the base – a confronting reminder of the horrors of war. In front of the ossuary is the Nécropole nationale de Douaumont, the largest French military cemetery of the First World War, with 16,142 graves, including a Muslim and Jewish plot. The complex was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023.
