Hidden between the dunes of Dishoek are remnants of a long-forgotten battle. As part of the Atlantic Wall, the Germans built a bunker complex here during World War II to defend against an Allied invasion.
During a guided tour with Bunker Stories Dishoek, you’ll descend into the rare hospital bunker, explore soldiers' quarters from the inside, and learn how the fierce fighting unfolded here in November 1944. The guides don’t just share facts; they bring to life the human stories of soldiers on both sides, of fear, hope, and survival.
The dunes of Dishoek were the backdrop for some of the fiercest fighting during the Battle of the Scheldt. Here, the landscape is not just a stage, but an active player in both war and liberation. The bunkers were built in, on, and with the sand. They tell the story of how strategy, geography, and human drama came together in the delta.
