Smallest Netherlands Island |
Postbus 90 Amsterdam 1398 ZH +31 294 262 326 http://www.pampus.nl |
The island of Pampus was built at the end of 19th Century as part of the line of defense around the city borders-de Stelling van Amsterdam. Soldiers had a harsh time on the island, as the humidity level was high and the average temperature about ten degrees Celsius. The fort on the island never took part in any kind of warfare. The Stelling van Amsterdam became outdated with the development of new military weapons like fighter planes. Pampus hasn't served as fortification since 1933. To visit to Pampus you'll have to go to the castle Muiderslot in Muiden and take the ferry to Pampus. Review © 2009, Wcities |
