Next comes the "Cecilia" Battery, similar to the "Beseler" Battery, except that the guns are longer, and the armour-plate protection rectangular.
Having passed a series of observation-posts, including that of the "Tirpitz" Battery, with its telemetric installation and machine-gun shelters, the tourist enters Mariakerke-Bains (6 kms.), a small seaside resort in the suburbs of Ostend.
Follow the tram-lines along Avenue Léopold, separated from the dike by a row of houses, to Ostend (2½ kms.) coming out opposite the entrance to the old Wellington Fort.
