By planting pollard willows along a stream, farmers capitalized on the willows' ability to absorb water. This reduces flooding in winter, while also retaining water during drier periods. The branches were woven into baskets.

Even though the trees along this path are certainly not only pollard willows, with Jeker as a guide this is a beautiful and peaceful route.
