Leaning Tower of Acquoy

Highlight • Religious Site

If you look closely, you will see that Mrs. Pisa is buried in the cemetery. Would that make the church so skewed?

April 14, 2022,Rond langs de Linge, van Asperen naar Beesd en terug

Today a round along the Linge, we start in Asperen to first walk towards Gelicum.

You will soon notice that this is part of the Dutch waterline, older defenses everywhere. Bunkers and fortresses.

Via the dike we walk towards Beesd where we cross the Linge to walk back on the other side.
