モールドレヒトのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

It was a beautiful place. Now you can only look in one direction to see nature; on the other side, they're building a neighborhood practically right up against the walking path. This is no longer a nice area to walk in; I fear for the animals that live there.

I love walking and cycling here during the week. Lots of mosquitoes on a summer evening! Check the reeds sometimes because there's all sorts of mosquitoes here.

We like to walk here and I also cycle through it on a quiet weekday. The area is well worth it in all seasons and it is also nice to go for a walk here (see photos) in the evening.

These bridges are by far the most fun part of a walk around 't Weegje. Playful passages with also a few great spots for a break or even a picnic

I like to walk or cycle here. But not in the weekend on nice days. Can be busy!

The GroenBlauwe zone is the nature and recreation area of Westergouwe. This area is no less than 45 hectares in size, and consists of approximately 20 hectares of water. The area was developed based on the obligation not to discharge water into the Zuidplaspolder. The area provides space for sports, walking and playing, but it is also a beautiful habitat for various birds and animals.

The history of the building in which Vivere Verzorgd Wonen is located, began with the idealistic couple Drost-IJserman from the 19th century. Everything indicates that this family was very wealthy and influential in the Moordrecht of the previous century: extensive lands, a stately home and a beautiful burial vault. Thanks to a special will, the Drost-IJserman family is still very much present in Moordrecht 144 years later. In 1869, Johannes Drost and Maria IJserman had a will drawn up by notary Snel in Breukelen, which would have the necessary effect in Moordrecht. The Drost-IJserman family was very wealthy. Maria IJserman descended from a family of large landowners, while Johannes Drost, in addition to being the owner of the IJsselvrucht brick factory in Moordrecht, also had a political life as a member of the Provincial States. The couple remained childless, which may well have been the underlying reason for generously begging the village in their will. Even before Mrs. Drost-IJserman died in 1876, the entire village was already aware of the will. A stately and large house was built on a plot of land on the Schielandse Zeedijk from part of the inheritance. This house had to provide shelter and care for all orphans from Moordrecht, regardless of their faith. With the construction of this orphanage, the wish of the Drost-IJserman couple became reality. An orphan father and mother cared for Moordrecht orphans here until the end of 1930. It did not involve large numbers: sometimes there were two, then three or four. After the orphans had left, the building was converted into a nursing home. With Vivere Verzorgd Wonen, care and housing are the most important functions of the building. A little further along the dike at no. 28 is the Drost-IJserman family grave.

The water tower in Moordrecht was designed by architect P.D. Stuurman, in the style of the Late Amsterdam School, as part of the Royal United Carpet Factories. The factory building, which was built in the same architectural style, was demolished in 1996. In addition to the factory, the tower was also used to supply drinking water to the residents of Moordrecht and served as a public bathhouse. The tower has not been used as a water tower since 1978. The water tower is 33 metres high and contained a water reservoir of 100 m³. The tower has since been converted into a studio with a home.
