Hiking

Fort Hedikhuizen (1862) is part of the Zuiderwaterlinie and was previously used to protect the flood lock. The lock made it possible to allow water to flow from the Maas in a controlled manner. Heusden was thus defended by the flooded land.

Hiking

Unfortunately, the fort could not be visited during my hike on January 21, 2018.
The door to this highlight was tightly closed with a padlock 🔐.

Fort Hedikhuizen was part of the waterline defenses to protect the country and the population against a hostile invasion.
Nowadays it is a place for parties and parties, but worth getting off your bike for a while.
