July 27, 2024,Van Bodegraven naar Woerden langs de Rijn

Nice trip from station to station on the towpath from Bodegraven to Woerden. You do have to share the towpath with cyclists, but fortunately there were not very many and they all called well in advance. Nice to end in Woerden and have a drink on a terrace in the historic center.
