Old Lighthouse of Hoek van Holland

Highlight • Monument

Here is a new and an old lighthouse. The old cast iron tower has been on the list of national monuments of the Netherlands since 1982. This honor is probably no longer his successor made of concrete.

We start from Rotterdam train station to the ferry in Hoek van Holland, always along the Rhine to the mouth.
The cycle paths in the Netherlands are great.
A detour to the impressive beach was a must.

With the nice weather, there was nothing to stop us from taking a …

Thanks to Sandra (meci for your tips), we rode past the enormous Rotterdam city fox, Bospoldervos. Because the wind was once again blowing from the wrong direction, we approached the mouth of the Rhine at a very leisurely pace. Finally, we joyfully …
