Fortress Bourtange
« on: 30 July 2017, 09:20:09 AM »
Today I show you pictures from the Fortress Bourtange in the Netherlands. It is a Vauban like fort, totally reconstructed in the 1960ies and 1970ies.
Have fun with the pictures.
Report in german and english.

I took part in a TYW re-enactment at Bourtange some years ago, certainly worth a visit at any time  8)
