Description
Gaze out over one of the longest rivers that winds its way through Europe to the sea. The Rhine is 1,233 kilometers long and originates in the Swiss Alps, where two source rivers (the Anterior Rhine and the Hinterrhein) feed the river that ultimately flows through the Netherlands. You'll also discover Fort Pannerden. This fort was built between 1869 and 1871. Fort Pannerden was constructed to guard the junction of the Pannerden Canal (the Rhine) and the Waal River and to slow enemy advances. The first designs for the fort date back to 1819. During WWI, the fort was fully garrisoned. In 1926, most of the fort was moved, except for four cannons, which remained in place.
