Walking through the surroundings of Stellendam

From Stellendam you can take a nice walk through the outskirts of Goeree-Overflakkee. You walk through vast polders and through the Slikken van Flakkee nature reserve.

Stellebos
From't Wapen van Stellendam you walk to your first sight: De Korenlust. This beautiful corn mill dates back to 1856. Further on you walk a bit through the Stellebos, a nature reserve that was created in 1978. It is wonderfully quiet to walk here, just like on the low-traffic Zandgorsweg that leads you along an old dike and extensive meadows. You walk along a leafy path along the Spui to Goedereede.

Goedereede
At node 46 you can take a quick turn to take a look at the historic center of Goedereede. Or you can walk back into the wide polders. Along the canals you hear birds and frogs in the reeds, on the horizon you see trees that are slightly bent by the dominant westerly wind. You walk the last part of the route along the Slikken van Flakkee. This nature reserve consists of mud flats and salt marshes that are overgrown with rye, grasses and shrubs.
