Colony - Eastern Rampart

In order to prevent the increase in escape attempts, a ring moat was dug from 1893, approximately 10 meters wide and almost 7 km long. The marked walk 'The Escape Path' follows this ring moat / ring wall. The historic swimming pool is located on the eastern section. A beautiful walking path, but be aware that it can be quite busy here.

Historical Swimming Bowl was dug manually by vagrants in the 19th century. The 'Basin' of yesteryear had the allure of the French Riviera and was only allowed for the staff. There was also a sunbathing lawn and a beach. Now there is a swimming ban. Some sofas invite you to enjoy. Landscaped pedestrian bridge connects the Ringwal Oost.

Children can play to their heart's content in this play zone.
