South from IJmuiden harbour there are two coastal batteries left as part of the Atlantic Wall.
Here you can see some remnants of the Naval coastal batterie 'Heerenduin' (Seezielbatterie Heerenduin) wich were part of fortress IJmuiden (Festüng IJmuiden). The 4 (Type 272) artillery bunkers (Geschützschartenstand) and a so called 'Leitstand' (Type M 178) (rare) are still visible.
