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

Really enjoyed those places. Great museums.

 

Have fun.

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).

And don't forget the Bastogne Barracks! You can visit the actual basement where BG McAuliffe refused to surrender to the Germans...

Check my topic..

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

There are several museums i would recommend for anyone travelling to the area.

 

Belgium

 

Bastogne War Museum

Baugnez 44 Historical Museum near Malmedy

December 44 Museum located in La Gleize

​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.
