Stützpunktgruppe Katwijk
Stützpunktgruppe Katwijk holds many aspects of a typical German defence. For instance, several Coastal- and Anti-Aircraft batteries, command posts, a large airfield and surrouding Landfront were built.
In the north the Landfront starts at the end of the Zeeweg, together with the above tobruk position (Stp. XXXIII) and rows of so called Träger in Beton. Following Zeeweg more south, you can visit the former Navy Coastal battery “Noordwijk”, which nowadays houses a museum. The volunteers of this museum are doing a great job. For instance, making the underground system of corridors and bunkers suitable for visitors.
