A tank for a bottle of cognac?
This German “Königstiger II” was abandoned in the Belgian Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge (that started 75 years ago, in December 1944). Normally he would have been taken to be scrapped shortly after the war, but a woman from the village La Gleize (Jenny Geenen-Dewez, wife of a local inn-keeper) proposed the Americans who transported the Königstiger, to exchange the tank for a bottle of (French) cognac and ... they agreed! Believe it or not, this is a true story!
In 2015 the tank was repainted in its original colours. He is one of the 5 surviving tanks of this type in Europe.

The Königstiger II had 185 mm armour on the front of the cupola and was equipped with the famous 88 mm cannon. This cannon was one of the strongest cannons from WW II and could pierce the front armour of most Allied tanks (such as the T-34 and the M4 Sherman) up to a distance of 1500 metres. The range of the cannon was 10 kilometres.

"Very enjoyable, clean and cozy place. Staff is friendly."

"Denne perle er absolut fantastisk! Det er den bedste overnatning jeg længe har oplevet. Alt ved det sted var en positiv overraskelse. Vores 'lejlighed' var kæmpe stor og badeværelset alene var på størrelse med master bedroom. Værten var sød og imødekommende, med gode tips og råd til oplevelser i området. Absolut ikke sidste gang vi har været her!"

"Zeer aangename gastvrouw- en heer. Heerlijk ontbijt dat tot in de puntjes is verzorgd. Mooie, comfortabele en luxueuze kamers. Vanuit de kamer heb je een prachtig zicht op de Ourthevallei en de tuin. De B&B ligt perfect gelegen om de buurt te verkennen. Kregen ook verschillende tips voor een uitstapje in de buurt, waar we enorm van hebben genoten. Grote troef: prachtig binnenzwembad. Kortom, dé ideale plek om tot rust te komen. Wij komen heel graag nog eens terug!"

Amosa Liège City Centre Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Family room was super spacious with a large loft for the kids and a separate doored room for the parents. Modern rain head shower, and the triple pain windows help make it extra quiet. Location is super for easy walking in old town. Although the hotel has no parking itself, a parking garage across the street is easy to access and low cost."
