Return via Chaussée du Phare to Place de l'Ecluse, turn to the left into Boulevard du Congo, which crosses the new eastern quarter of Ostend (see plan, p. [60].)
Just outside the town, a short distance before reaching the "Hôpital" (to the left of the road), turn to the left and skirt the left side of the "Hôpital", as far as the "Hindenburg" Battery, consisting of four 11in. guns on semi-circular concrete platforms.
In front of this battery is the Old Napoleon Fort, which the Germans turned into a Casino during the war. Some of their mural paintings may still be seen in the rooms.
Farther on, is the post of commandment of the "Hindenburg" Battery.
Return to the road and continue in the direction of Blankenberghe.
Beyond Milestone No. 6, which bears the inscription "Le Coq 5 km. 1", there is an observation-post, on the left, with telemetric posts and machine-gun shelters (photos, p. [71]).
On the coast, some distance ahead, may be seen one of the cruisers which were to have blocked the port of Ostend.
