Great nature for hiking 👍📷

Between Drunen and Waalwijk lies De Baardwijksche Overlaat. A 48-hectare wooded and water-rich nature reserve at the foot of the Loonse and Drunense Dunes. The large system of dikes served from 1766 to 1911 to hold back enemy armies. The area was originally used to collect water from the Maas during floods. It already existed in the 15th century as an enormous closed complex of dikes; the Grote or Hollandse Waard. It was precisely because of this enormous size that things went wrong in 1421. During the second St. Elizabeth's flood, the sea flowed all the way to Heusden. To repair the situation, several side dikes were built near Drunen. Around 1766, the water actually became the comrade of the people of Brabant. The system – with the inundation locks that had been constructed in the meantime – was given the function of a water line: the Baardwijksche Overlaat. This remained the case until 1911! www.zuiderwaterlinie.nl

Wonderful wheel where you can also enjoy swimming.

What a beautiful piece of nature all of a sudden. With waterfowl. The Haarsteegse Wiel, also known as Grote Wiel, is one of the largest wheels in the Netherlands.

Beautiful fen with an island and a sandy plain at both ends. Hiking trail runs all the way around it.

👍

This fen is popularly called "The Ice Rink". It was frequently used by locals for skating.

You can go all the way around the fen. Spotting heron and frog. Also place to sit or lie down.
