Duinbergen.

Continuing along the road, the tourist next reaches Heyst-sur-Mer (2 kms.) skirting the hotels and villas on the dike. Beyond the last houses of Heyst, on the right, is the "Freya" Battery, armed with four 8in. protected long-range guns, on circular concrete platforms. Between the left-hand gun and Heyst are two large ammunition shelters; the gunners' shelters are behind. This battery is prolonged by the "Augusta" Battery, armed with three 6in. guns on concrete platforms. There is a searchlight on the dike in front of the two batteries.
Kaiser-Wilhelm II Battery,
to the west of Knocke (seen in the upper half of photo). Lower photo: the entrance to the battery, near the windmill.
The road next passes through Duinbergen (1½ kms.), where the Germans had observation-posts on the roofs of three houses. In the village, turn to the right, at the corner of Pauwers Hôtel (photo, p. [84]) coming out behind the square which stretches as far as the dike, near a concrete observation-post, built on the top of a high dune, and commanding a fine view over the sea (Photo, p. [84]).
