Between the Werk Werk at the Korte Uitweg and the fortresses Lunet aan de Snel and Fort Honswijk runs the Gedekte Community Road, a road along an earth wall with concrete bunkers. Soldiers could move relatively safely from one fortress to another via such a 'covered road'. The wall now only protects you from the east wind, but is above all an attraction in itself: it is the only intact covered road of the New Dutch Waterline. On the south side, don't forget to take a look around the corner and take a look at the inundation canal on the other side, which could be used to flood the polders in an emergency. Oh yes, take it easy: hikers also like to come here to enjoy the landscape and the special military heritage.
