Round Weipoort and Benthuizen

Your route starts at Farm 't Geertje, where you can immediately take something tasty with you for the road. Historic farms, beautiful lakes... This beautiful watery route leads you along the water, through typical Dutch landscapes: the Green Heart at its best! Along the Weipoortse Vliet you can see the impressive seventeenth-century farms of the hamlet of Weipoort. The beautiful village church of Hazerswoude-Dorp dates from 1646. The Zoetermeerse Plas has a depth of 40 metres, it is an old sand extraction site. Now you look out over the rippling water. On the north side of the lake you walk through the Prielenbos, a nice rough swamp forest. It is known for many bird species, can you hear them? If you walk here around dusk, you might spot one of the owls!
