Fort Vechten is home to the Waterline Museum, where you can discover everything about the Dutch Waterline. The museum offers interactive experiences, including a model of the "new Dutch Waterline" that you can flood and a virtual reality parachute jump over the waterline. The fort itself, located at the intersection of the new Dutch Waterline and the Roman border wall (Limes), is an important monument of the Waterline.

Fort Vechten is home to the Waterline Museum. Here you can go on an interactive discovery tour to learn all about the waterline. The waterline was a Dutch defensive line, which could be flooded in the defense case and thus the country could be submerged. In the center of the museum you will find a model of the "new Dutch waterline". Flood this and experience how the waterline works. Or make a parachute jump over the waterline with Virtual Reality goggles and look at what no one has seen from above: the flooded "new Dutch waterline".

The museum is located in one of the largest forts of the new Dutch waterline, Fort bij Vechten. The strategic location of this completely renovated fort on the interface of the new Dutch waterline and the Roman Limes makes it a landmark waterline.

This is the only fort of the Nieuwe Waterlinie that is open between sunrise and sunset. All other forts that are rented out are not just accessible.
