Roadblock Fort Chaudfontaine

These cast iron posts are in fact roadblocks.

One would easy walk by, not knowing that this is part of history of Worldwar 2.

Between the two obstacles there would be a steel calbe which made it possible to pull several fences on the road so nothing could pass.

By doing so, one of the roads leading towards fort Chaudfontaine could be blocked. This obstacle is located near bunker CF 2 .

The obstacle is only for 40 cm above groudlevel. Underground the pole is burried at a depth of 1,80 m in concrete. This would be the reason if not really necessary they would leave the pole as was.

The post across the street does no longer exists.

Note: see photograph 2 for an explanation from the municipality of Esneux, who placed an information panel at the two bornes that still exist on the Rue des Messes at Tilff.
