Description
This route leads from De Jongh Fietsspecialist through the Wormer-Jisp and Nek polders and through the Beemster polder. You will encounter all kinds of historical defenses along the way. Fort Marken-Binnen was built to defend the Markervaart and the banks of the Westwouderpolder and the Stierop. Near the fortress there is a secondary battery and an inlet culvert, which clearly demonstrates its defensive function. It is part of the defense line the Stelling van Amsterdam, just like the fort at Spijkerboor. This fort was mobilized during the First World War. It also served as a prison for conscientious objectors and a number of prominent NSB members and a number of political delinquents were held there. Fort aan de Middenweg still looks impressive, with a beautiful retractable dome with artillery and machine gun positions in the front wall.
