Menen heritage walk

Due to its strategic position on the border between France and the Netherlands, Menin has repeatedly been the victim of acts of war. Consequently, the city has been fortified several times. To this day, some traces of this turbulent past can still be found throughout the city. Military buildings and strategic structures characterize the townscape. The route is easy to follow thanks to a clear map and the rivets to be found along the way (all text on the map is in Dutch).
