Story · Werk aan de Groeneweg
You're standing at the Werk aan de Groeneweg, on the Eiland van Schalkwijk, close to the river Lek. At first glance it might look like a quiet orchard. But look carefully between the trees. Grey concrete blocks are scattered all through the landscape. This used to be a defensive position.
