Guided Tours

The museum organizes guided tours in the former Festung Hoek of Holland on various days. In a unique way you will be told the story of every piece of history that can still be discovered today.
Often there is more to see and experience than you think!

Voorduin tour

The Voorduin tour tells the unique story of the beautiful dune area with the same name. The former anti-aircraft battery 'Nordmole' is located in the Voorduin. Under the guidance of a guide you will be taken through the dunes and various structures will be viewed and visited.
During the Voorduin tour, accompanied by a guide, you will visit:
  • An 8.8 cm Flak German anti-aircraft gun.
  • Flak 10.5 cm gun emplacements of the former anti-aircraft battery 'Nordmole'.
  • Atlantic Wall Museum 'Bunker 2'. A gun bunker of the bunker type 625b. This bunker is authentically decorated so that you get an impression of what such a bunker looked like during the Second World War.
  • The four meter high anti-tank wall.

Entrance to the museum is included in the tour price. You can only participate with an online reservation via this website.

There are no tours available at the moment.

Guided tours in the museum

During every day that the museum is open you can get a guided tour from one of our enthusiastic volunteers. The guide takes you through the museum bunker and tells you all kinds of details about the bunker or interesting collection objects. Very fun and educational for children too!

A tour of the museum costs you nothing extra in addition to the entrance fee. Ask at the entrance for the possibilities. If possible, museum tours can also be provided in English or German.

Cycling and walking routes

Walking route 'Ommetje Vineta'
The walking route marked with lizards, indicated on route posts and information panels, leads past beautiful places in Hoek van Holland where special nature can be seen.
Along the way you will be informed by signs about historic Hoek van Holland and what remains of the First and Second World War can still be found in this area below and above the ground. Because Hoek van Holland is one of the few places in the Netherlands where remnants of the Cold War (including the Troposcatter) can also be seen, this route is highly recommended for both young and old.
Atlantikwall cycle route Hook of Holland (29 km)
Hoek van Holland was one of the best-defended areas along the coast during the war and if you pay close attention, you will still see many traces from the war in the landscape, such as anti-tank ditches, observation posts and bunkers that have been converted into homes. The new cycle route 'Cycling along traces of the Atlantikwall near Hoek van Holland' introduces you to Hoek van Holland's wartime past.
