- An Invisible MonumentRecently, I was in Vlissingen, the Netherlands, and took a walk along the “Green Boulevard.” This walking and cycling route goes along the Westerschelde from the train station to the center of Vlissingen. Along the way, there are several monuments that recall the Battle of the Schelde that took place there in 1944. I was not looking for war monuments, however, but for a certain environmental monument.
