You are allowed to take your dog with you, as long as it is leashed. There are two hills with semi-natural stairs that are pretty steep.

From an elongated floor plan consisting of three rectangles, a country house was built under glazed, improved Dutch tile gabled roofs with projecting eaves resting on carved studs. The facades, constructed in large-format yellow bricks, predominantly feature straight-closed facade openings with wider lintels. A crawl space is located beneath the entire building.

Built in 1937-1938 to a design by architect J.W. Janzen on the remains of St. Pietersdijk, which originally served as a country house and hunting lodge, the freehouse, situated in a landscaped park, is the main part of the Strypemonde estate, commissioned by James van Hoey Smith. The left façade of the house, built in the interwar style, features an attached service building with a garage and a game slaughterhouse.

In the province of South Holland lies the island of Goeree-Overflakkee, home to the Kwade Hoek nature reserve. The name is said to refer to the treacherous currents and sandbanks in this area, where many ships sank in the past. This relatively new dune landscape is a mosaic of damp dune valleys, salt marshes, and mudflats, with a very unique flora and fauna.

Fort Penserdijk was built in 1885 as part of the "Monden van de Maas en Haringvliet" (Mouths of the Maas and Haringvliet) defence line. It consists of an elongated rampart with steep slopes and is surrounded by a wide moat. During Open Monument Day, the fort on Peltserdijk in Tinte can be visited. During World War II, the Germans took Fort Penserdijk and the identical Fort Noorddijk near Hellevoetsluis into use as shelter and storage. The Germans put the Dutch plan of inundation (deliberately flooding an area) into practice. Allied aircraft and paratroopers could never land in this way. The polders east and west of the Canal through Voorne were filled with seawater. The salt was disastrous for agriculture for years after the war.

One of the few "forests" near Rotterdam. This route is designed so that as much as possible can be walked on footpaths. There is only one steep climb.

It is a beautiful walking area, but of course on a Sunday with nice weather, very busy with families and children. Not bad in itself, but if you are looking for silence, you better go on a weekday.
