    A military defence line was built between Fort Sint-Marie and Fort Zwijndrecht from 1870 onwards.

    In the polders, this defence line consisted of a dike, in the sandy region of a military road (Krijgsbaan). The excavation for the dike formed a long defence ditch (the Lange Eind) with 2 defence posts: the Halve Maan and the Put van Fien. The Put van Fien is a relic of the dike breach of 1953 that flooded large parts of Kallo and Melsele. The E34 now cuts the line in two. The dike is freely accessible to walkers. You can also cycle on the southern part.
