Story · Werk aan de Bakkerskil
You're standing at Werk aan de Bakkerskil, a small fort on the Schenkeldijk, southeast of Werkendam. It's part of the New Dutch Waterline and was built around 1878. See the water right next to it? That's the Bakkerskil. It made the ground on the west side of the fort hard to cross, which was exactly the point.
