Nice path, now quite muddy due to heavy rainfall, but doable. Also seems like a nice path to walk in better weather and drier conditions. Definitely want to go back again in spring/summer.

What is special about the Dooijersluis pumping station is that fish can swim through it from both sides. You can visit the pumping station. From the roof you have a beautiful view over the polder and the canal.
