Reviews
Amazing place to visit! We had a tour with a lovely guide who told very passionate about the history and the local fauna. Definitely worth the while and there's a cute pancake restaurant you can go eat/drink after.
Beautiful nature surrounds an old water line fortress. Hiking the walking the 2,7 Km bunker trail is a nice experience.
Lovely old Dutch fortress. There is a pancake restaurant nearby, and the surroundings are very nice for a walk or biking. Around the fortress there are some restored bunkers and defence positions, with plaques explaining the story of the fortifications. One of the bunkers is in a farmfield and some sheep were standing on top of it, the children loved it. The fortress itself has very limited opening times, you really have to go on one of the days there is a tour. This is really a pitty, the fortress is worth a visit.
Around the Fortress there are many beautiful hiking spots, well worth visiting.
Absolutely lovely place, always love it. Beautiful nature
It was closed when we arrived, we have been told it’s open one day per week with a tour guide. We took a stroll around the place and it’s wonderful… a perfect cafe en pancake place very close by.
As of the moment due to hibernation of bats, it is closed to the public (until April they said), which is strangely did not specify on their site that’s why we went here to visit. Though you can walk around the fort on a snowy Sunday, it still gets busy. You can park your car 2kms away, but you can cycle all the way the fort, and park your bike. Just a shame we did not able to see it, but we’ll go back on Spring or Summer.
Beautiful but inaccessible. Protected nature reserve. Only guided tours.
