De IJssellinie: water as part of defence

Near Olst, the IJssellinie offers an introduction to water defence and the Cold War. The hospital bunker is a stated part of the visitor offer.

Plan your visit ↗

A bunker with a function

The name 'hospital bunker' makes clear that not every space is purely about weapons. During the tour, ask how the function of this building is explained within the larger whole.

A landscape that hangs together

The subject links structures with water and terrain. Guidance helps you understand those parts in context, even when not everything is visible from the same spot.

Open day or group booking

Open days in season and group tours by appointment are offered. The escape bunker has its own programme; do not assume it is automatically part of an ordinary guided tour.

Before you go

Check the exact open day and the last starting time. Ask about the meeting point and accessibility; parking at De Haere is part of the stated visitor route.
