About this accommodation

This nearly 200-year-old fort is situated on the floodplains of the River Waal. The characteristic fort was once part of the New Dutch Waterline. The line had to protect Holland from enemy troops. When there was a threat of war, soldiers could flood wide stretches of land from Muiden to Biesbosch, making it inaccessible. At strategic positions, the enemy encountered forts, castles and casemates. The fort was renovated recently to host a number of special opportunities to stay overnight.

This room is simple and can accommodate up to eight people. The room has two bedrooms with a partition between them. In each of the bedrooms, you will find two bunk beds. For up to four people, one room is available for you. For four people, both rooms will be available. You share the luxurious toilet and shower room with other guests of the small-scale campsite. However, the sanitary facilities are right around the corner from the room, so you don't have to walk far.

The fortress also has a restaurant where you can have lunch or dinner. Of course, it is also possible to enjoy a nice drink here on sunnier days.

The fort is also a perfect base for beautiful hiking and cycling tours. If you prefer shopping, the cities of Utrecht, Rotterdam and Den Bosch are only about 20 kilometres away. Would you rather spend a day out in nature? Then consider a visit to De Biesbosch national park.

Upon arrival / departure, a tourist tax per person per night must be paid.
