Directions
On the Zuid-Beveland side of the Sloedam (1-km dam that connects the island of Walcheren with Zuid-Beveland across the Sloe waterway), several reinforced concrete field fortifications can still be found. These belonged to the Stützpunkt (artillery deployment) Scharnhorst.
Along the Zeedijk of the Jacobpolder, several bunkers remain. One of them has been made accessible and can be visited. It is a troop bunker combined with an emplacement for a light anti-aircraft gun — one of three that once stood here. From these positions, the airspace above the Sloedam was defended against attacks by fighter aircraft.
