dppintr Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 The New Dutch Waterline is a defence line that spans 53 miles. The line starts at Muiden and ends at the Biesbosch and is 2 to 3 miles wide. It consists of 45 forts, 6 fortified towns, 2 castles, 85 machine gun casemates, over 700 concrete troop shelters and casemates as well as more than 100 military sluices and water engineering works. The New Dutch Waterline is the largest National Monument in the Netherlands. Fort Vuren On Thursday we made a sight-seeing trip along the Waterline.

Peter Anson Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Crikey, that's a lot of history concentrated into one blog. I always imagined Holland as just having defences against invasion by the sea.
