This is bunker EC 2 alongside the road and river Vesdre at the village of Chaudfontaine.

Bunker EC 2 is part of the sector Embourg-Chaudfontaine (EC) of the 2nd line of defense for de city of Liège, la Position Fortifiée de Liège (PFL 2) and belongs to the forts of Embourg and Chaudfontaine.

The bunker is build in the rocks and consists of two floors. On the first floor the 47 mm anti-tank canon was placed. On the second floor the machinegun and a searchlight.

When after the war the most bunkers were no longer in use for the defence of Belgium, the iron door and shutters were sold as scrap.
