Escalles, south of Petit Blanc-Nez.
AOK 15, KVA C, KV.Gr. Wissant, Wn. 113 Dortmund.

Driving from Cap Blanc-Nez over D940, just after leaving the small village Escalles, there is after 1500 meter a small path up to the hill in the direction of the coast. Be careful with the crop on the field!

On the top you find this Wn. with a nice view over the bay and when the weather is good you can see England as well. There is an emplacement + garage with a very striking form that you can see, even from the D940. Another emplacement like this is destroyed, also some other objects.

2x Emplacement + garage.
2x Vf shelter.
1x Water tank.

Escalles, Ferme St. Po.
AOK 15, KVA C, KV.Gr. Wissant, Wn. 114 Bochum.

Looking down from Wn. 113 over the bay of Wissant you see this location and its remains.
We didn't visit the location and only made a few pictures from a distance.
Walk to this location from Escallles and the Wolfschlucht by walking along the cliff side, passing Wn. Duisburg and Wn. Dortmund and then arriving on Wn. Bochem. If you like you can walk further on toward Wissant.

Go up to the small village of Le Tap-Cul and drive to the end of the road. There you find a "car turning point". Try to park here  

From here you have to walk up hill for about 20min. to get to Le Mont Sombre. On top you find the bunkers to your left and to your right, all facing towards the sea. On this point you will have, when the weather is good enough, a beautiful view over Bay of Wissant and hopefully you can see the White Cliffs of Dover.
