    Do you see the sloping hill with water around it on your left? This is Fort Edam, the northeastern point of the Defence Line of Amsterdam.

    As you can see, the fort does not stand out at all. With its pollard willows and reed collars, it looks more like a small lake around an old mound. Fort Edam blends in beautifully with the landscape. And that was exactly what the builders intended. They wanted enemies to see this bastion only at a late stage. Too late, when they were already within shooting range of the cannons.
