    Middelburg - Headquarters Toorenvliedt

    Toorenvliedt was set up in 1942 as divisional headquarters for the German units on Walcheren and in the Bevelanden. It was part of the Atlantic Wall. The German units built several bunkers here: three command bunkers, a communications bunker and three residential bunkers. Some bunkers were disguised as peaceful farmhouses with painted windows. The location was advantageous: the headquarters was sheltered on the property, the roads were not far away, and the Ter Hooge Castle opposite housed accommodation for the army's top command.

    Hiking

    The park contains several bunkers from the Second World War, still largely intact. Large steel plates have been placed on the bunkers, with inspiring lines of poetry by Henri Looymans. A treasure hunt for children is recommended, where they have to find letters in the poems. These letters together form a word. There are also all kinds of playground equipment, such as slides and a zip line.
