Atlantikwall in Raversyde
Where history and nature meet.
The ATLANTIKWALL in Raversyde is one of the best-preserved remains of the German defensive line, with more than sixty bunkers, open-air and underground passageways, observation posts and artillery positions. The Saltzwedel Neu Battery is a textbook example of the Atlantikwall. Its fine state of preservation makes it one of Europe’s most important museums of defensive works. In Atlantikwall Raversyde you’ll also find the best-preserved German coastal battery from the First World War: the Aachen Battery.
