Nkumburis Posted April 30, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 30, 2015 Good Evening All!! I am going on a bike ride tomorrow through the 106th infantry divisions area during the battle of the bulge!! My trip will start in Prum, Germany. I will bike to Schnee-Eifel to Bleialf then to Winterscheid from their to St.Vith, then Le Gleize, then Grand menil to Bastogne, From Bastogne I will sleep in a village called Lultzhausen, in the morning Ill go to Luxemburg and finally back into Germany. Now I know there is a lot to see and do but I would like to focus on these towns and the area of these towns. Does anyone recommend to visit anything specific in the area. Also if you can respond ASAP I would appreciate it because I have one day to finish planning. Thank you!!! - Nick K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeper704 Posted May 1, 2015 Share #3 Posted May 1, 2015 Panther tanks in Grandménil and Houffalize. King Tiger in LaGleize. Museum and Achilles Tank Destroyer in La Roche. As you ride through the several villages, watch out for the numerous monuments, old canons and Sherman tanks (like in Vielsalm). Parker's Crossroads (Manhay). 101st AB Museum in Bastogne (near the old train station). Mardasson Memorial and museum just outside Bastogne. Peace woods (between Bastogne and Bizory, you have roadsigns pointing to where it is located). Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim novak Posted November 2, 2015 Share #8 Posted November 2, 2015 agree with Erwin. Get out there and get lost in the forests. Its amazing how spooky it can be and how easy it is to lose your orientation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted March 19, 2016 Share #9 Posted March 19, 2016 There are several museums i would recommend for anyone travelling to the area. Belgium Bastogne War MuseumBaugnez 44 Historical Museum near MalmedyDecember 44 Museum located in La Gleize Museum of the battle of the Ardennes located in La Roche en Ardenne La Roche is less traveled and visited by tourist compared to the others, especially Bastogne. Luxembourg Pay your respects to all of the fallen Brothers in Arms. Luxumbourg American Cemetery and Memorial located in Hamm - Gen. George Patton is buried here Sandweiler German War Cemetery located about 1 mile from Hamm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
