Fortress monuments and the Second World War have many points of contact. The European cultural route “Liberation Route Europe”, certified  by the Council of Europe in 2019, leads along remembrance routes to the historical sites of the Second World War in Europe. Remy Praud (Director LRE) and Dirk Röder (European Fortress Tourism and Fortress Marketing Network e.V.) met at the Brussels office of Liberation Route Europe (LRE) to discuss joint travel themes, events and possible projects. For example, the commemorative events of our network initiative “75 Years of the End of the Second World War in Fortresses” will also be publicised as part of the LRE’s “Europe Remembers” label. Both cultural routes intend to sign a cooperation agreement at the beginning of 2020.
