You can find this tank barrier on the Klompenpad.
Germans built tank barriers at Zevenaar during World War II to prevent Allied forces advancing in the Netherlands from breaking through to Germany via the Rhine Valley. These tank barriers were part of the Atlantic Wall, a line of defense that ran along the west coast of Europe and was intended to prevent an Allied invasion.
