Hiking

This information board is specifically about the fauna and flora around and in the fort, where you may want to read the extra information about the bats that live here.

Hiking

The fortress is now a recreation area and a non-accessible bat sanctuary. You can walk around the fort moat, visit the fort under supervision and fish on the fort moat. Occasionally there is also a mountain bike race on and around the fort. The guides of the Fort van Kessel guides are happy to give you a tour of the fort. The exhibition "Treasures of the Commander" gives a glimpse into the eventful history of the fortress. An activity can also be booked for children.
