Fort Hinderdam
The fort island of Hinderdam is right in the middle of the river Vecht, so both banks were easy to defend. A defence work has stood on this site since the 17th century. That defence work did not consist of much more than an earthen sconce. Nonetheless, it was incorporated into the Dutch Waterline soon after it was built. Its isolated position and the fact that it has not been in use since the middle of the last century have allowed the fort to become host to exceptional plant and animal life. In 1990, the entire island was declared an official natural reserve.

Muiden
MuidenMuiden
The best way to experience the convivial fortified city of Muiden is to take a stroll by the harbour with its many traditional sailing boats or to settle down at an outdoor café with a view of the Groote Zeesluis. Alternatively, you can explore the fort island of Pampus or visit the centuries-old Amsterdam Castle Muiderslot. Along with Naarden and Weesp, the fortified city of Muiden played an important role. Muiden closed off the Zeedijk dyke and protected the sea and inundation locks of the Vecht. Fort C, also popularly known as ‘the Muizenfort’, has a small museum about the New Dutch Waterline and the Defence Line of Amsterdam.
