Line of Communication east of Hulst
1586. To defend itself against the Spaniards, the city of Antwerp had the Land of Hulst flooded in 1584. The water reached within a few kilometers of Hulst. To prevent a State invasion army from disembarking so close to Hulst, the Spaniards built Fort Zandberg in 1586. The fort was located at the end of a sand ridge that ran from Hulst to the water surface. Fort de Grote Rape was built between Fort Zandberg and the city. In 1591, Hulst fell into the hands of the States, who built a new fort between the city and the Grote Rape: the Moerschans. Both forts were included in a line dike with a covered road between Hulst and Fort Zandberg.

The path on top of the dyke is very well accessible, better than the wide path next to it at the bottom.
