Dive into the bunkers of Den Helder on Saturday, May 30.

Discover places that normally remain closed. From 10:00 to 17:00, you stand right in the middle of stories from the Second World War. In Den Helder, you feel that history particularly strongly, between the coast, the navy, and defense.

Discover the Atlantic Wall Center

Visit the Atlantic Wall Centre in Huisduinen. View the exhibition featuring images, miniatures, and personal stories from Den Helder. The cellar is open especially for Bunker Day. Join a guided tour at any time, with a maximum of 15 people at a time.

Experience history up close

Walk between the Atlantikwall Centrum and the Kroontjesbunker. There you will encounter living history. Actors from Figurantengroep OuderwetZ play residents of Huisduinen in the 1940s. They are active between 11:00 and 15:30.

Visit multiple bunkers

Trek verder door Den Helder en Julianadorp. Bezoek de Kroontjesbunker, de Hospitaalbunker en de M219 in Julianadorp. Ook op Willemsoord zijn bunkerrondleidingen. Met één polsbandje bezoek je alle deelnemende locaties. Koop je bandje op de dag zelf bij een deelnemende bunker en ontdek meerdere plekken in één dag. Voor de bunkerrondleidingen op Willemsoord is vooraf reserveren verplicht.
