You're standing at Fort Boven-Lent, also known as Sprokkelenburg, on the north bank of the River Waal, just east of the village of Lent. Look at what's in front of you: a moat, and behind it a building with casemates and a tower. Around the moat runs a glacis, a gentle earthen slope that gave attackers nowhere to hide.
