Walking through the polders near Fijnaart

The route starts on the edge of Fijnaart. Stop at De Fendertse Hoeve for a cup of coffee on the Kadedijk! It is not surprising that you walk on a dike here. Centuries ago, this area was not yet safe from the sea. During the infamous St. Elisabeth Flood of 1421, Fijnaart was completely washed away. Along the road you will see some beautiful centuries-old farms. From the hamlet of Kade you walk south. Here you will not find Brabant forests, but fruit orchards and extensive grasslands and arable lands with beautiful panoramic views. The Oude Appelaarsedijk is lined on both sides with deciduous trees. It is easy to walk on the car-free dikes while enjoying the view. Back in Fijnaart you will see some more beautiful buildings. Such as Villa D\\\'Engelenburgh, the former parsonage from 1873.
