🌊 Atlantikwall Raversyde & Ostend Coastal Walk

## 🌍 About the experience

This Sunday we travel to the Belgian coast to explore one of the most fascinating historical sites in Belgium:
Atlantikwall Raversyde.

Hidden in the dunes near Ostend, this open-air museum preserves more than 60 bunkers, trenches and underground passages from the German Atlantic Wall built during World War II.

Unlike many other sites, the complex remained buried in sand after the war, which helped preserve it almost intact. Walking through the trenches and bunkers gives a powerful glimpse into the reality of the coastal defenses of the time.

After the visit, we will enjoy a relaxing walk along the North Sea coast, explore the dunes, and finish the afternoon with drinks or food in Ostend.

As always with Sunday Vacations, the idea is simple:
discover places, meet interesting people, and enjoy the moment together.
