The Bassenge municipality lies between Tongeren, Liège and Maastricht and consists of six villages: Glons, Boirs, Roclenge-sur-Geer, Bassenge, Wonck and Eben-Emael. The Geer river flows through the municipality.

The Geer Valley boasts many landmarks. Let us start from the north of the municipality, in Eben-Emael. It is home to Fort d'Eben-Emael. The fort was built in the 1930s and was considered one of the strongest fortifications in Western Europe. German troops attacked the fort on 10 May 1940. You can discover the fort, its underground barracks and the maze of galleries with a guided visit. You can also take a walk around the top of the fort.
