About this school trip

Atlantikwall Raversyde in Ostend is one of the best-preserved sections of the German defensive line along the coast. In a rolling dune landscape overlooking the sea, your pupils discover more than sixty bunkers, open and underground passages, observation posts and gun emplacements from the Second World War. The site is also home to Battery Aachen, the best-preserved German coastal battery from the First World War.

This makes military heritage truly tangible. Schools can choose from several formats, such as a visit with a guide or audio guide, and an educational package with a guide for secondary schools. At the entrance, a 75-metre coastal panorama shows sharp photographs from 1945. As war is a sensitive subject, we recommend preparing the visit in class and discussing it together afterwards.

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your pupils to Ostend. With our comfortable coach and an experienced driver, your group travels safely and in a relaxed way to the coast.
