Rijnauwen Fort
Fort Rijnauwen is tucked away in the forests between Zeist, De Bilt, Utrecht and Bunnik. This is the largest fort in the New Dutch Waterline – an impressive structure which is unique in our country because of its architecture and pristine condition. In addition to being a cultural and historical monument, the fort has also become a valuable natural habitat as a result of the many years in which it was closed to the public.
Guided tours
You can visit Rijnauwen Fort throughout the year during guided tours and events. Especially for children, Captain Dirk comes by and there are exciting bats safaris. Most activities take place from April to October.

Asschatterkeerkade
AsschatterkeerkadeAsschatterkeerkade
The Asschatterkade dates from 1745, and is one of the longest trenches of the Grebbelinie, with its length of 2500 metres. The trench from 1799 lies east of Leusden, at the edge of the flood plain. But there are also elements from more recent history which can be found.
The nine visible military bunkers, for example, were built during the mobilisation between 1939-1940. There is also a unique concrete tank barrier from this time. During the May Days of 1940, the Germans attempted in vain to break through the defences.
