Hi,
I had the same in mind but we are on vacation, so I will be in France,
taking a panorama.
It is not too difficult to visit the Muiden Fortress, Pampus or the
Weesp Fortress.

As far as I understand, the Fortress of Naarden
http://www.walker-online.com/travel/Netherlands/North_Holland/Naarden/Na...
does not belong to the stelling of Amsterdam, but belongs to the New
Dutch Water Defence Line.
Regards,
Harald

They were build in the late 1800s to protect Amsterdam after inundating the surrounding country. It never was really used because the technic in warfare was so rapidly progressing.
