Tank Barrier Vuren
On one side of the Waaldijk near Vuren Fort, a part of a tank barrier is visible several meters below the read. This is because the dike has increased in height several years ago.
The concrete block is original. the metal stakes are reconstructed. The barrier was built in 1939-1940.
Along the road are also other concrete remains of a tank barrier.
