We are a couple living in Brussels and love to travel. Although we do not select our travel destination based on the WHS list, we find the list a good guide to discover a country's most interesting (and sometimes otherwise overlooked) sites.

My most impressive site: Calakmul

My proposal for a new site: World War I memorials and cemeteries

The Four Lifts by Kbecq

The Four Lifts (Inscribed)

The Four Lifts

Unfortunately we did not see the lifts in action and in such a case it is not a WHS with a big wow-factor.
