July 26, 2025,Rundtour von Heusden nach Woudrichem und zurück

A wonderful tour along the Meuse. There were many great little ferries along the way. But beware: some ferries don't run on Sundays. The route leads along paved paths through villages and a nature reserve along the separated Meuse arm.
A highlight!

Nice bike ride from Gorinchem over the bridge to Woudrichem and then to Heusden. Both towns have the same atmosphere as Bourtange, but are a bit bigger.

Back to Loevenstein castle and then back to Gorinchem with the Maas Taxi. This boat goes quite faster than the ferry.
