When it comes to history the country of Belgium has a lot to tell about it. One of the historical place Belgium has to offer is in Bastogne, the town which is close to the boarder of Luxembourg. The best way to get to Bastogne is to drive by taking route E411/A4 in t.he direction of Namur-Arlon.
On my first step on this place i was so flattered by the beautiful image of the museum and the stunning view on the top of the Mardasson Memorial .
The place called The Mardasson Park which is in the form of a five-pointed American star was built in honour of the memory of the 76,890 American soldiers killed, wounded or missing in the Battle of the Bulge; It was designed by an architect named Georges Dedoyard.
Wood Of Peace
The 4,000 trees making up this wood were planted for the 50th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. They were dedicated to the American veterans who fought in the Ardennes, Belgian combatants and all the civilians and military who died in the winter of 1944-45.
Sherman Tank
The Sherman tank of the 11th US Armored Division "Thunderbolt" was completely renovated and is a major monument in Bastogne.
