Abtskolk and Burgerbrug walking route

You immediately cross the Noordhollandsch Kanaal at Burgervlotbrug, via one of the five remaining raft bridges in the Netherlands. Special! On the other side you pass through the Mennonite neighborhood: this former settlement was founded by Mennonites in the eighteenth century. Then you take a tour around the Abtskolk, in the Abtskolk and Putten nature reserve, a unique open area behind the Hondsbossche sea wall. It is designated as a Natura 2000 area because the pygmy goose, white-fronted goose, gray goose and wigeon live here. The irregular allotment is clearly visible from the cycling and walking paths.
