Hi Don, yes there are.

There are remnants of foxholes at German positions around La Gleize. The ones that I saw weren't as well-preserved as those 506th foxholes at Foy. As far as relics go, the ground around La Gleize is full of US arty shrapnel. I eyeballed the US .30 cal bullet here between two cobblestones in the main square of Stavelot in 1994; still there after 50 years.

Thanks much, Greg and MG - much appreciated!

Don, don't forget the superb museums near Malmedy and in La Gleize (under new management). Both owned by a forum member and without a doubt the best "collector quality" museums I have ever been too. I am sure you can get some local information from them as well.

Thanks, Willi - I plan to hit La Gleize and the Mardasson museum while I am there!

Don, the Mardasson Museum was not finished when I was last there in June 2012. I assume it is now open so I might make it there after Kassel this fall.

Here is the one near Malmedy;

Superb place to eat and drink as well!

It just opened a few weeks back, Willi -

bulge relics museum

There is also a new museum in joubieval, some 7 kilometres from vielsalm, on the n89 going to the baraque de fraiture crossroads.
it is simply called "bulge relics museum". Just check it out. It is really worth visiting it !

You'll need a permission from the landowner before looking for relics around and in the Ardennes right?

Correct.

And it is forbidden to metaldetect the woods.
Penalties are very severe.
