August 29, 2024,Reeuwijckse plassen uitzicht – Uitzicht op de Surfplas loop from Gouda

3/5. A walk through Goudse Hout + Reeuwijkse Hout. Both areas themselves are lovely, but probably not covered enough to their best in this route. And the way between them comes along narrow roads, so you have to stop every time to let cars and bicycles pass by. Nevertheless there are beautiful places to enjoy.

March 9, 2026,The Hiking Freak - Hike Reeuwijkse Plassen (ronde 17,9 km)

What a beautiful route!! Although this hike is relatively close to where I live, I'd never hiked it before. I've added 57 photos of myself!! Incidentally, I only encountered 12 cars in the 17.9 km... incredibly quiet, what a relief!!! Highly recommended!! (Read the full description on my website)

Started from large parking lot at Tourist Transfer Point Reeuwijkse Hout.
Route with many straights.
Not everywhere a view of the water due to the vegetation present.
Many beautiful houses along the trail.

In the rare case of 'real' and 'beautiful' winter weather, I think of the Reeuwijkse Plassen. According to my father, this is due to my youth (I grew up in those parts and of such a age that this type of winter weather was more common than it is today).
Last week I was lucky enough to be able to …

What a beautiful walk!
Along the way rescued a lamb that lay on its side and could not get up. Just looked up how to do that. Fortunately, it went well again and he started drinking.
Enjoyed the beautiful views and the huts that are everywhere. Seen and heard several birds that I don't know the name of. I was …
