The dike called Aschatterkeerkade was build around 1745-1799 as part of the "Oude Hollandsche Waterlinie", a old Dutch defence system with inundations. In the period around 1940 it was integrated in the Grebbelinie and several MG-bunkers and obstacles where build.
And the end of the 2500 meters long Asschatterkeerkade lies the so called "Voorwerk"(in front position) This position was extended with 4 four MG-casemates to close the road that's crossing the line, together with on both sides a tank ditches filled with water.

You can park your car at the water lock, that was part of the inundation system, and start walking over the Asschatterkeerkade for about 1 hour. The pictures I show is as you will encounter the different objects.
