German Bunker And False Airfield Riel

In de Second World War, the Germans build a fake airfield between Alphen and Riel. It was used to lead away the attacks on airfield Gilze-Rijen.

This bunker (a "Gefechtsstand") is a remaining part of this fake airfield. Furthermore, part of the fake airfield has been recreated.
