Oud Gouda The Reeuwijkse Plassen were created in the eighteenth century by peat extraction. The peat was used, among others, by potteries and beer brewers in Gouda. From the dike that runs through the middle of the lakes, you have beautiful views over the water. In Gouda you will experience the atmosphere of a bygone era in the old center. You pass right past the fifteenth-century Gothic St. John's Church, beautiful!
