The Reeuwijkse Plassen are a long, elongated water and nature reserve near Gouda, created by medieval peat extraction. It's a popular area for walking, cycling, and especially for boating and stand-up paddleboarding. Around the lakes, you'll find beaches, nature, and charming restaurants and cafes, especially near Reeuwijk-Brug.

The Reeuwijkse Plassen consist of thirteen lakes, twelve of which were created by peat extraction in the 18th century. One lake, the Broekvelden/Vettenbroek, was only created in the 20th century by sand extraction. Today, many of the lakes are used for water recreation.

Standard orchards are no longer common. They can still be admired on the Bredius Estate. There are two large orchards and several smaller ones with old apple varieties, such as the Goudrenet and the Notarisapple, and old pear varieties, such as the Saint-Rémy and the Legipont. The oldest fruit trees are over 100 years old. Originally, there were over four hundred fruit trees on the estate, spread across sixteen orchards. The estate now has 370 fruit trees.

The view over these lakes is great. There are quite a few lakes, each with its own name.

The path takes you past this gem, a beautiful nature reserve managed by Staatsbosbeheer. It is a wetland area with many birds such as the kingfisher

Raised benches have been installed in some places in the Groene Jonker to enjoy a good view. I can imagine that it is busy here in the spring with many bird watchers who would like a high bench.
