The Defense Line of Amsterdam embodies a typically Dutch tactic for the defense of Amsterdam at wartime: harness the power of the water to protect the city. The UNESCO-listed defense line consisted of tracts of land that could be flooded to prevent access to Amsterdam; the forts of Weesp, Muiden and Pampus Island that stood on the defense line are now popular attractions for families, military history buffs and the simply curious. Find out more about the Defense Line of Amsterdam and visitor information for these monumental forts.
