Description

Plan a few days off for this multi-day cycling route and delve into the history of the New Dutch Waterline defense line, nominated as a world heritage site.
Admire the forts from the outside and, where possible, take a fort tour to learn about the history of these structures.

This brisk ride is not the shortest route, but it does take you past almost all the forts of the Defense Line of Amsterdam. The rivers sometimes require a major detour, check the sailing times of various bicycle ferries and deviate from the route if desired. You can drive the route in both directions or in parts.

Only the four Lunettes near Utrecht and the Defense Works near Vreeswijk are not on the route, but for the rest you can see all the forts of this defense line from your bike. In some cases a detour is taken to show more (different) parts. On the rivers Lek and Waal you can deviate from the route with regard to ferry services or bridges, depending on the season.

The compiler of the route is not responsible for the locations, information and photos of the forts.
