Description
Explore the surroundings of the Reeuwijkse Plassen and Gouda. Enjoy nature and all the beauty that this area has to offer.
Starting point: Gouda
The first part of the route you walk through Gouda, a pleasant city with medieval streets and a historic city center.
Reeuwijkse Plassen
During this route you walk right through the Reeuwijkse Plassen. The Reeuwijk lakes consist of thirteen smaller lakes between Bodegraven and Gouda. Narrow roads separate the originally peat-drained puddles. The lakes all have a rectangular shape, in which the former allotment of the peat soils from the time of'Great Reclamation\\\' can still be recognized. During the walk you have varying views of the lakes and the islands located therein.
Gouda Wood
The last part of the walk takes you through the Goudse Hout nature reserve, east of Gouda. It is a characteristic open peat meadow area, to which groves have been added and which is intersected by cycling and walking paths. The area is nicely varied due to the alternation of forest plots, grasslands and pools. A nice place to end your walk.
