Been to the Vesting on a sunny sunday and it was great. walk around is pretty and worth every single step. The nice views let you daydream about the past and history. Different interesting things to see and climb on. my favorit: the toilet :D

Since we moved at the North part of the Netherlands it was one of the towns I wanted t visit. And I was right. It looks as beautiful as the pictures I have seen. A big windmill welcomes you to the fort and then you...More
