Fort Asperen

Highlight • Historical Site

Fort bij Asperen is a military heritage and part of the New Dutch Waterline, which is on the nomination list for UNESCO World Heritage. It is located in a beautiful part of the Gelderland line landscape, where you can cycle and walk. The exploitation is in the hands of the Leerwerkbedrijf Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie foundation, which organizes cultural activities and exhibitions there. The dome is a work of art in itself. The light and air shaft in the fort consists of green-blue glass slates (tiles), which were blown in glass city Leerdam. This includes drawings made by children from the area. The dome keeps rainwater out, but there is still room for the bats to fly in; the fort is an important wintering place.

Thanks to the very nice and good weather on Saturday. A trip to enjoy with all its "splendor and pomp". The disadvantage was that it was regularly "traffic jam cycling" in both directions.
