Oude Waver

Highlight • River

Beautiful path (road) along the Oude Waver. If it is not windy, you can enjoy reflections in the water. You walk along beautiful houses and with a little luck there are nice boats on the waterfront

Fort in the Botshol

Highlight • Historical Site

Fort de Botshol does not really look like a fortress. You only see an elevation in the landscape. The fort was never completed and bunkers were never built.

Walking trail on the Botsholdijk

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful walking path that goes past Fort in the Botshol. The fort is not really visible from the dike, but if you know that there is a fort, you immediately recognize the characteristic elevation in the landscape.

Beautiful walking path along the river Winkel

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful walking path, which is part of LAW Waterliniepad. It is nice to know a little more background about the Waterline and the Defense Line of Amsterdam. Then you look at this beautiful piece of nature with completely different eyes.

This morning I set off early with Botshol as my destination, I had a rough plan in mind so I set Komoot to record and we'll see how it goes and that it turns out differently because I threw the plan in the wrong direction due to various circumstances such as no bridges due to renovation, temporary emergency bridges in …

This morning I took a wonderfully colorful walk through the "de Rondehoep" and "de Botshol" polders. I already felt a bit of late summer and even autumnal.
