Walking route Muizenfort (Fort-C)

In Muiden you can experience a beautiful fortress history. You also walk a bit through the polder and over the dike along the IJmeer. Bring your binoculars for beautiful views!

Pampus
The Muizenfort is part of the Defense Line of Amsterdam and was built at the end of the nineteenth century. A wonderful place to look around and learn more about the Dutch fortress history. From the fort you can walk straight into the polder. Here you will also experience the characteristic Dutch cultural history. You look out over vast meadows that are intersected by ditches. From the dike you look out over the IJmeer. In the distance is the fortress island of Pampus.

Beautiful Muiden
You walk a bit along the canal that has been constructed around Het Muiderslot. A little later you can visit the famous thirteenth-century moated castle itself, it has been furnished as a museum and is considered one of the most beautiful Dutch castles. From the lock you walk further, across the Herengracht. Just like on its namesake in Amsterdam, you can enjoy a beautiful picture here: you can see pleasure boats bobbing on the Vecht, on the left are many beautiful old buildings.
