Stelling van Amsterdam

This route covers the defensive cordon of dykes and fortifications around Amsterdam, as part of the “Waterlinie”: starting at Volendam on the border of the former Zuiderzee, Northeast of Amsterdam, it runs westward, bends South crossing the NortSea-canal that connects the Amsterdam harbour with the North Sea, and then curves to the east and North again, to the Zuiderzee – the land outside this area would be flooded in order to block enemy access to Amsterdam. There are seven stages, and we walked them in autumn and winter of 2014 and 2015.

The route has been tracked and images have been taken but I still have to process them, but if done, these will be available here.
