Den Helder, De Kooy.
Westside.

At het west side of the canal, near one of the sideways of the N9 behind the Mc Donald lays a tobruk. It became visible after the demolishing of a farmhouse somewhere in 2007.

Types:
1x Tobruk.
Den Helder,  De Kooy.
Doggersvaart-house nr 2.

Along the Doggersvaart near the railway crossing, hidden on private property two VF-bunkers are build.
This can be the bunkers who were part of Lager-A that was a camp that's belonged to the airfield De Kooy. One bunker is some sort of garage and the other one we couldn't determine the correct type. On the pictures you can see that there were more walls inside and some air locks in the roof.

Types:
2x Vf bunkers, type unknown.
Den Helder, De Kooy.
Motor cross near the railroad.

Along the railroad line from the N9 up to the inner city of Den Helder are several bunkers build.
One of the locations we have visited is on the motor-cross terrain on the business park at De Kooy. Drive into the direction of the airfield-entrance and take a sand road to the left towards to the railroad.

Types:
1x Vf2a personnel bunker with extra building.
Den Helder,  De Kooy.
Krankenrivier De Kooy.

When you come from the Doggersvaart and drive into the Nieuweweg you can find on your left-hand the Krankenrivier De Kooy. This was a small hospital for the V.B. Den Helder.
On the side you can find the doctors house, bath house and the ward for the patients.
Most of the buildings still have steel armoured plates near the windows to protected the patients who were inside in case of an  allied bombardment.
Nowadays a construction firm located on the property so ask if you may enter the side.

Types:
3x Hospital buildings.
Den Helder, De Kooy.
Flak Batt. Balgzand Wn. 142A.

When you cross the ship-lock and cross de Oostoeverweg you can find in a sand wall a part of the former Flak Batterie Balgzand. It is not possible to enter the locations because it is a protected birds area. Another bunker for an aggregate for a searchlight, is still there but even more covered with sand and hardly visible.

Types:
1x Vf1a  Personnel bunker with crew room.
