Beautiful windmill in Huijbergen.

Nice short route with some technical features like small drops and some gaps. Lots of twists and turns. Not a course for fast lap times, but mostly fun to practice the technique

Breathe in and breathe out forest. Beautiful!

Easy but pure enjoyment

The Ossendrecht War Museum is a private museum, founded by Jan de Jonge. Jan has collected souvenirs from the Second World War his entire life (born 1943). The collecting started in and around the house in Zeeland, but also with his grandparents in Brabant. Collecting has become a true passion. From the beginning, Jan has found pleasure in it and has let others enjoy or 'shudder' at his collection.

The collection of collector and curator Jan M. de Jonge can be called unique in the Netherlands. It includes many complete uniforms (more than 200), radio and transmission equipment, weapons, utensils, surrogates, ammunition, mines, hand grenades and optical equipment. Each piece has been preceded by a thorough study in order to present it in an authentic way. From Bergen op Zoom, along Ossendrecht, towards Putte (Belgium) the museum is located on the right of the road (in a former Military Home) between the exits of the Police Training Centre and the former Wilhelmina Barracks.

In August 1914, the fort was at full strength when approximately 500 men were stationed there. They were under the command of Kommandant Jean Vogels. In the end, there was not much action because the fort was evacuated when Antwerp was occupied by the Germans. Kommandant Jean Vogels was appointed Honorary Major on 19 October 1923. In 1917, the fort became part of the German defence line. After the First World War, the fort was modernised. Overpressure chambers against gas attacks and an anti-tank ditch were installed. Again, it was all for nothing because the fort was evacuated on 17 May 1940. After World War II, the fort was used by the Belgian Mine Clearance Service to destroy explosives, mines and ammunition.
