This is a area filled with trenches and dogouts. It is assumed that this was the closest the Germans came to Verdun. This area is located just south of Fleury, also know as the epicentrum of the battle of Verdun. On the way to the trenches we found an old powder house, which also was used as a hospital during the war.
