Description

Your walk starts at Minicamping De Reekens. From here you can quickly walk into the fortified town of Heusden. In atmospheric Heusden, all fortified monuments are within walking distance of each other. The fortified city was created around 1200 at the castle of the Heeren van Heusden. Strategically located on the Maas as an important link between the Biesbosch and's-Hertogenbosch. The fortified past of Heusden can be felt in almost every stone. You walk back past the location of Heusden Castle in Oud Heusden. It was completely destroyed when a donjon (locally called'De Dikke Brabander\\\') caught fire in the seventeenth century. 60,000 pounds of gunpowder exploded. Part of the castle has been re-bricked with modern materials. This way you get an idea of how imposing this building once was!
