6 Things to do in Bunnik That You Shouldn't Miss
Bunnik ( pronunciation (help·info)) is a municipality and a village in the Netherlands, in the province of Utrecht. The recorded history of the village dates back nearly 2000 years, when the Romans constructed a fort at Fectio (now Vechten) with a harbour facing the river Rhine, which marked the border of the Roman Empire. The fort developed into a thriving trading centre, which continued to exist after the Romans abandoned the fort in the fourth century. Subsequently, the area was occupied by the Frisians and the Franks. In the 8th and 9th century the villages of Bunninchem (Bunnik), Lodichem (Odijk) en Wercundia (Werkhoven) developed.

The museum tells the story via interactive exhibits of how the Dutch have used water in order to defend their country against attack. The various exhibits are not only informative, but also entertaining. Last but not least, there is a simulator which takes you in a balloon above The Netherlands. It is not to be missed!

This fortress tells you the story of how the Dutch dealt with their enemies. It's a part of a defense line called: De Waterlinie. Taking a tour with a guide is highly reccomendable in order to get the whole picture and hear the stories. For those with an apetite there's a small café where you can have a light lunch or snack.
