A bunker as a space
The shape and layout of a bunker invite you to consider its function. The guided tour may explain how the individual rooms fit into the defensive system described.
From structure to story
Exhibitions add context to the structures. Take time for the explanations about people and circumstances, so that your visit is not solely about construction or the sheer volume of concrete.
A route past bunkers
You see the inside of several locations. That calls for different planning from a museum on a single floor; discuss terrain, distances and passageways if they could limit your visit.
Before you go
Tickets are tied to specific opening Sundays. Check the date, the starting point and the language of the tour; the guided tours mentioned are in Dutch.
