Hiking

At the location of MKB Oye Plage there were four bunkers of the type M272. These bunkers were part of the Atlantic Wall and served as gun bunkers for the German navy during the Second World War. Unfortunately, most of these bunkers have been destroyed, and only the remains of one of the four are still visible. Two of the M272 bunkers are now located under a nearby campsite.
