Description

Your cycling route starts at Bike Totaal Kruijswijk Tweewielers. From here you explore part of the 135 kilometer long defense line on the Amstel, around our capital: the Defense Line of Amsterdam. The position is still active as a hooves; the threatening effect it posed was sufficient to prevent hostilities. In 1914, the Defense Line of Amsterdam, together with the New Dutch Waterline, prompted the Germans not to invade the Netherlands. The entire waterline, which included a total of 45 forts and was constructed from 1880 to 1920, is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. During the Second World War, Fort Veldhuis was used by the Germans as part of their major defense work along the west coast. Nowadays an air war museum is located here.
