Place Antoine Ernst

Highlight • Monument

There is a memorial to the victims and survivors of World War I on the square.
The corresponding inscription on the memorial reads "AUBEL À SES HÉROS" - "MORTS POUR LA PATRIE", died for the fatherland. The names of the fallen soldiers as well as the names of the survivors are written on the column. In front of the column stands a Belgian soldier holding the flag and blowing the horn (for attack?). Behind the soldier's sculpture you can see a cannon barrel and a wheel.

Highlight • Cycleway

You can comfortably cycle for hours in the shade on this former railway route. Without any particular gradients and sharp curves, as is usual on railway lines.

Laschet Tunnel cutting

Highlight • Structure

The southern head of the tunnel was blown up on August 3, 1914 by the Belgian army to prevent the passage of the Germans with their material. This was done to protect the fortresses near Liège, but the last fortresses fell on August 16, 1914. On May 10, 1940, the Belgian army mined the tunnel again and large parts of it fell. In 1941, the Germans replaced the tunnel with an open trench with a bridge, which lasted until 1952.

Beware of tastes

Highlight • Historical Site

The old train station seems to have been preserved to some extent, but the parked train carriages and the old car have seen better days. I especially feel sorry for the car.
