    Memorials of war.... #neveragain

    Hiking

    On Wangerooge, remnants of the former military facilities can still be found scattered around, as the island was massively fortified during World War I and World War II. However, most of the approximately 100 bunkers that once existed were blown up, dismantled, or reclaimed by nature after the war.
