Beautiful old radio building, used back in the colonial times to makes long distances calls and transmissions back and forth to Indonesia (Nederlands Indie back then).

From both sides it is great to drive over the Radioweg to the monumental building of Radio Kootwijk.

Amazing old Radiostation in the middle of nowhere. The building is inspired by the famous Egypt Sfinx, and that's clearly visible. It's one of the most famous buildings in the area and even starred in a sci-fi Hollywood movie!
