In 2021, we will bring an "Ode to the Landscape. Starting May 8, 2021, a theme year will put the Dutch landscape in the spotlight. That landscape is incredibly varied. Nowhere in the world will you find so much diversity in such a small area as here.
One of the eye-catchers in this varied landscape is the Dutch Waterline. Through the centuries water has been used as an ally here, and we celebrate this with numerous activities.
Whoever says Waterlinie, says forts. How much fun is it to see them on a bicycle tour? This 70 km route takes you through the green landscape of the Biesbosch Line, past four forts, two inundation sluices and fortified town of Woudrichem.
Along the way you will encounter several group shelters and casemates. On the forts Bakkerskil, Altena and Giessen you can take a look.
This year the Liniepad Festival brings an Ode to the landscape of the Dutch Waterline. The festival takes place from September 11 to 19, between the weekend of Open Monumentendag and the first art weekend of foundation Kunst in Almkerk. The Liniepadfestival lets you enjoy the landscape along the waterline with music, theater, heritage and landscape art. A special bike and walking route connects the town hall with the Liniepad and the forts of the Dutch Waterline.
