Tips

Ria van den Heuvel

From the first half of the 17th century to the end of the 19th century, the canal was responsible for a large part of freight transport and public transport in the Low Countries. And thus for the flourishing trade. The canals on the Hollandsche IJssel pass through the centuries-old battle landscape of the Groene Hart and past the monumental towns and villages along the canalized Hollandsche IJssel, Oudewater, Hekendorp, Montfoort and IJsselstein.

The old towpath between Oudewater and Hekendorp is completely intact. This allows us to relive the canal canal with our monumental snik, the Jan Kordaat (built in 1902) and with the monumental ice barge Den Onthaestingh (built in 1918).
Pulled by one horse (Jan Kordaat) or a pair of horses (Den Onthaestingh), the passengers imagine themselves in earlier times. The landscape passes slowly by with only the sound of horse hooves, the wind and lapping waves.

Beautiful path along the water. Can get muddy after rainy day.

It can be quite soggy here, but well worth the walk.
