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

What a lovely, peaceful old lane where you leave the A20 traffic behind you as you cross the railway line and feel transported back in time to a time when electricity poles were still made of wood!

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.

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 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.

Gerrit Bernardus Lalleman (Naaldwijk, 29 January 1820 – Amsterdam, 14 July 1901), also known as 'Meester Lalleman', was a teacher and headmaster in Moordrecht from 1844 to 1887. With publications (including in De Economist in 1855) and persistent public attention for the poor position of children, he contributed to the creation of the Van Houten Children's Act (1874). Lalleman was dissatisfied with this law: the ban did not apply to household and personal services and in agriculture. Because there was no control, the law was evaded in practice. This law marked the beginning of the ban on child labour in factories and workshops. Building on this, the Children's Acts of 1901 were eventually introduced, which introduced compulsory education for children up to the age of 12. Because of his publications, lifelong commitment to education for children and combating truancy, Lalleman is seen as one of the most important advocates for the right to education for children. In Moordrecht, Master Lalleman is honored with a bust near the Protestant church where he was also sexton, reader and precentor. Source: Wikipedia
