Hürtgenwald Restored First Aid Bunker

Hürtgenwald Restored First Aid Bunker

Exploring an amazing former German army first aid bunker in Simonskall, Hürtgenwald.

Volunteers have painstakingly restored the interior, and it is now in almost pristine condition, as it was in late 1944 before the battle of the Hürtgenwald began.

You can visit this bunker too; it is open every first Sunday of the month from March to November from 12:00 to 16:00. Address: Simonskall 17, Simonskall, Germany.

My name is Joris Nieuwint and please let me be your tour guide! As a local who has lived in the Operation Market Garden area for most of my life, this battle is now part of my DNA, and I have been studying it for almost 30 years. Since 2012 I have been active as a Battlefield Guide and over the years I’ve have taken many individuals, small and large groups, relatives of veterans, school groups, and military groups and staff rides on tours all through Europe. What began with guiding in the Operation Market Garden area has since expanded to include the Hürtgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge and more.
