The flat landscape and the wind turbine point to northern Germany or Benelux, while the motorway signs look German (they're blue/white everywhere in EU, but I have only ever seen the white inlay pointing to business parks in Germany).
EDIT: The image has a crazy high resolution, which even allows reading off the placenames. This motorway goes to, I think, Antwerpen and maybe Eindhoven(?). So we're looking for a place in the eastern Netherlands/western Germany, most likely, along a motorway leading to Antwerp. Since the photo looks like it was taken personally on a walk rather than a random photo from the internet, I'm going to guess it is somewhere along the German A4/Dutch A76 (E314) in the vicinity of Heerlen, Limburg.
EDIT EDIT: Indeed it is, it's the Panzersperre Bocholtz, just across the Dutch-German border and less than an hour by bike from Heerlen.
It is indeed the Panzersperre Bocholtz, one of the few places in the region where the Westwall or Siegfried Line is still visible. This picture was taken by me while hiking a part of the Dutch Mountain Trail, a 100km long route with a misleading name given that the only mountain in the Netherlands is in the Caribbean and about a fifth of the route goes through Germany and Belgium. Nonetheless it is a very nice and varied route through the hills of southern Limburg and adjacent areas.
I'm pretty sure the motorway sign says Heerlen btw, if it were Eindhoven the name would have to be about as long as Antwerpen.
