Fortmond, Nature area and small settlement in Olst-Wijhe, Netherlands.

The region extends along the IJssel River between Deventer and Zwolle, featuring fields, waterways, and an observation tower overlooking the floodplains.

The settlement originated around 1775 when a brickworks was established, leading to the construction of twenty houses for workers in the area.

The Kozakkenveer ferry service commemorates the 1813 crossing of Cossack forces who aided in removing French troops from Dutch territory.

During high water levels of the IJssel River, the municipality provides boat transportation for residents since regular access becomes impossible.

A 2.5-kilometer path through dense woodland, nicknamed 'Korea', requires rubber boots and leads through an untamed natural environment.
