Tour of Fort Giessen
Discover the surroundings of Fort Giessen. A varied walk along the river Alm, through the Almbos and over flowery dikes with wide views. Start and finish at the impressive Fort Giessen, a jewel of the New Dutch Waterline. Tip: visit the fort or experience park!
The hike starts at Fort Giessen, the southernmost fort of the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie. When open, it is definitely worth a visit. The volunteers will be happy to tell you about the period of the First World War. An experience park has also been developed with a trench. There is an unpaved walking path around the fort.
The walk leads you through the village, toward the Wilhelmina Lock. Want to take a look? Then walk after node 27 along the provincial road towards the lock. Then walk over the dike towards the connection with the walk around Rijswijk and through the village and Almbos (picking is allowed) to the end point.
