After the end of the war the enterprising owners of the land, the Schier
family, had the foresight to preserve the trenches that had been built,
and this place has now become a popular place for pilgrims and tourists.
They enclosed the dugouts, and added a small museum.
The trenches are very much as they were back in 1918. As my daughter wandered around,
the owner of the museum dug his hands into one of the trenches and gave
her two pieces of shrapnel that had been lying there for so many years.
Just outside the building of the museum are stacked together, almost as
if they were wooden logs, hundreds of shells that had pounded upon the
area.
