Fort Penserdijk was built in 1885 as part of the "Monden van de Maas en Haringvliet" (Mouths of the Maas and Haringvliet) defence line. It consists of an elongated rampart with steep slopes and is surrounded by a wide moat. During Open Monument Day, the fort on Peltserdijk in Tinte can be visited. During World War II, the Germans took Fort Penserdijk and the identical Fort Noorddijk near Hellevoetsluis into use as shelter and storage. The Germans put the Dutch plan of inundation (deliberately flooding an area) into practice. Allied aircraft and paratroopers could never land in this way. The polders east and west of the Canal through Voorne were filled with seawater. The salt was disastrous for agriculture for years after the war.

Julianapark Main entrance Burg. Knappertlaan The Julianapark is the only park in Schiedam that is protected as a monument. Nowadays, its design is still very similar to the design that the municipal landscape architect J.K. Dominicus drew in 1914. The park was the first part that was constructed during the development of the new West district. The pond was an important part of the water management in the former polder area, which was reclaimed from 1907 onwards. Dominicus designed a park with curved paths in a landscaped design, combined with several formal avenues and sight lines, such as the access path from Burgemeester Knappertlaan. An artificial hill or belvedere was constructed in the centre of the park, from where there is a beautiful view of the park. The crowning dome is surrounded by a brick pergola. The colonnade with lime trees is also characteristic. There are more beautiful trees in the park, such as a beech and hornbeam, and the liberation tree planted in 1947. There are several monuments in the park, such as the Emmabank from 1935 and a liberation monument from 1949 by Pieter van Starreveld. Many older Schiedammers still remember the magical lighting of the Julianapark during the 'Holiday Festivities' in the fifties. This lighting was not easy, for example the eight kilometres of electricity cables had to be buried in lawns, flower beds and paths. The manager was therefore not initially enthusiastic. With Winterlicht in December the beautiful effect can be relived. NB. Fortunately this lighting was not always on. The adult male youth had secret meetings in the park at night with the young student nurses who stayed in the convent next to the park.

If you like birds, you'll get your money's worth here: sand martins, common terns, lots of seagulls, ducks, herons, cormorants, etc. In May and June you can see lots of young birds.

Modeled after the giant egg of a tern, the Tji Bird Observatory is nested in a willow twig nest in the Haringvliet Nature Reserve. Behind the cracks in the egg lies a vast cavity made of artfully crafted wooden struts, from where you can observe the diverse birdlife of the Haringvliet in all directions. A truly exceptional place.

Beautiful hiking trails very close to the beach.

You cannot walk a loop to this location. From the vantage point you have a beautiful and wide view over the water where you can see a lot depending on the season.
