A Visit to the Restored Fort Pannerden, near Arnhem, Arnhem, Netherlands

Today I would like to introduce you to a beautiful place in the surroundings of Arnhem; the exciting, surprising and beautifully restored ‘Fort Pannerden’. The fort of the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie is hidden under the earth, but is five stories high. Can you imagine!? From the roof you have a spectacular view over the Waal river, Rhine river and Pannerdensch Canal. If you’re planning to visit Arnhem, make sure you don’t forget to visit this fort!

Fort Pannerden is easily accessible. If you go by car you can drive via the A15 (or N325) and follow the signs to Doornenburg. Fort Pannerden is indicated on the brown tourist signs. Parking is free of charge and there’s a free pickup and drop off service with tuk tuks. Of course you can also walk to the fort. The fort itself is about 15 minutes walk through the Klompenwaard from the public road.

If you go by bicycle, you can cycle all the way to Fort Pannerden and park your bike in front of the fort. You will find a charging point for E-bikes at the bicycle place.

Another option is to visit the fort by public transport. Plan your trip via http://www.9292.nl. The nearest bus stop is ‘Bus stop Van Kol’ in Doornenburg. From there the fort is a good 20 minutes walk. A nice walk by the way! ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
