Holiday apartment in Loozen between history and nature

The Loozensche Linie is a defensive structure from the time of Napoleon. At the Loozensche Linie, an old meander, meaning a former river branch, was excavated and connected to the Vecht. Part of the land along the Vecht at the Loozensche Linie was excavated as a buffer during high water. Visitors can reach the Loozensche Linie via a footpath, a ferry and pedestrian bridges. A wheelchair-accessible path leads to the observation tower. The Loozensche Linie also attracts many bird species.
