★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Site of an old Dutch fort that was an important part of the Dutch defense lines called the "Waterlinie", meant to keep invading armies out of the country using a system of flooding to halt their advance. It's not an actual structure; just a earthen construction. It might have had wooden barracks at some point but they are gone now. A single cannon remains. There has been some reconstruction going on to restore the earth walls in their former state and deepen the moats. There's a modern observation tower constructed of wood and steel that offers a nice view of the area. Unfortunately not accessible for the disabled (stairs). Free parking. Some short walking trails in the area. Cafe with patio at the fort.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely place for a walk in the forest with your dog. The tower is original and the walk through the water is fun! You can even have a drink by the café. Nice place to go in family too!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One can call a hidden beauty, as you approach the area is not quite evident at first glance. I went on a 15 min bike trip last week on a beautiful spring sunny Sunday. It’s an astonishing landmark proof of men and nature at work in harmony. Probably still underrated, all I can say is that the pictures don’t quite describe the experience vividly. From the top of the tower you have an amazing peripheral view of your surroundings and the fort itself. There is a café to serve visitors and safe bring along children. The history describing the maps on the location are in dutch, but perhpaps there are translation on line. Overall... an amazing destination to visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a neat place for a 20 walk around. The informational signage could be improved, particularly the English ones. The descriptions leave you with more questions than when you first started reading the descriptions. The parking lot is free, but it is muddy and full of potholes.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Its an amazingly beautiful place. Very quite especially in the morning. Lucky also when we got there is a bit foggy so when we reached the top of the tower it looks like you’re in a see of clouds(most likely). Love that “hazy” effects on the photos. Moses bridge is the highlight of this place :)
