Walking stage 8: Raamsdonk - Drunen | Southern Water Line

Waalwijk is not the place to be if you are looking for the hustle and bustle of the big city. However, thanks to its natural beauty and the presence of several wielen (puddles), the municipality is the ideal base for a wonderful day in nature. Put on your walking shoes and continue your adventure along the Zuiderwaterlinie walking path. Explore the Wielen van Waalwijk, former water ponds, and walk along De Westelijke Langstraat and the Baardwijkse Overlaat, two beautiful nature reserves in the vicinity of Waalwijk.
