Fort Honswijk — Attraction in Houten

Fort Honswijk is a lovely, small historical outpost along what is called the Hollands Waterlinie.It does feature a beautiful lookout point over the Lek and 'T Wall rivers and a walking path around the fort that takes maybe 15 minutes total. On Sundays a guided tour of the inner chambers of the Fort are offered. And there is a small snack bar & facilities for visitors & resident artists. Parking is down the hill about 5 minutes walk from the tourist entrance. The site is not exactly wheelchair friendly & kids may be bored easily as there is little to distract..although there is a ( young) kid's path where they can find little "prizes"...

Fort Honswijk is a truly beautiful and peaceful place to visit. Surrounded by water and nature, it offers a perfect escape from the busy city life. The walking paths are scenic, the historic architecture is fascinating, and the views over the river landscape are absolutely stunning.

It’s not only a great spot for history lovers, but also for nature enthusiasts and photographers. The combination of greenery, water, and old fortifications creates a magical atmosphere, especially on a sunny day.

Highly recommended for a weekend trip or a relaxing walk. Don’t forget your camera — this place is...

Respect to the group and all the best wishes I and rest of my...
