오우데 마스제 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Great campsite. We were here with our rooftop tent to start two short tours from here.

The castle has an eventful history, with its origins dating back to 1331. Compared to other castles at home and abroad, Dussen Castle is modest in size. But that is precisely why it has a unique charm that many visitors embrace when they enter the courtyard after the bridge and gate. The courtyard is beautifully enclosed by a colonnade from the seventeenth century, which is rare in the northern Netherlands. This creates a romantic and intimate atmosphere. There are weekly guided tours, for both individuals and groups. The costs are €3 for adults and €2 for children. From 1 October to 31 March, a guided tour starts every 2nd Sunday of the month at 14:00 & 15:00. From 1 April to 30 September, a guided tour starts every Sunday at 13:00, 14:00, 15:00 and 16:00.

The small river Dussen is beautifully situated here in a picturesque location with old farms along it and bridges over it.

Near the village of Meeuwen stands De Witte Molen: the pride of the village! The round stone ground corn mill was built in 1740. At the beginning of the 20th century it was the first mill in the region to be equipped with so-called streamlined sails: this increased the efficiency of the mill. There was a time in the previous century that the mill no longer ground, but after a restoration it has been in use again since 1995.

Enjoy a wonderful view over the serene Bergsche Maas. A beautiful piece of nature dug by human hands. From the point where the river De Donge flows into the Bergsche Maas (near Geertruidenberg) the water carries a different name: De Amer.

A touch of Italy in the Biesbosch: in Dussen Castle you will feel like you are in Tuscany! In 1387, an existing residential tower was converted into a castle. However, the castle was destroyed during the St. Elizabeth's flood in 1421. It was rebuilt in 1456, but the castle also had an eventful history in the centuries that followed. Curious about what happened? Then book a tour of this fairytale building!

A beautiful mill dating from 1720. Take a picture and continue cycling or walking. More information about the mill at: https://www.molendatabase.nl/molens/ten-bruggencate-nr-12197
