Description
During the Eighty Years' War you found the Breda defense lines in this region. The Lage Vuchtpolder could be flooded to make life difficult for the enemy, thanks to defenses such as De Redoutes on Zwarte Dijk and Lage Vuchtpolder Fort. Discover the Strikberg right away. This hill has always been slightly higher than the surrounding polder. During the siege of 1637 it was the site of a redoubt. In Terheijden, on the river Mark, you will find the Kleine Schans: a Spanish army camp from 1590. In 1830 it was still used as a bulwark against the Belgians, because of the Belgian war of secession. You cycle back via the Hoop Doet Leven windmill in Made and the Vrachelse Heide.
