Today a walk along the leak. Parked in Ameide, unfortunately Komoot indicated paths with no access. But we made a nice walk, and the weather was lovely.

October 9, 2022,Hike along the beautiful river Lek

Lovely varied hike along one of the most beautiful stretches of the Lek River. Then you walk through meadows and wetlands where special birds can be spotted. The walk is highly recommended. I already saw the walk passed by several Komoot friends. Thanks!

December 28, 2025,Door de Zouweboezem en langs de Lek

What a beautiful area this is, the Zouweboezem. Today was our first time here. It was wonderful with the sunshine. It took a while to get there, though, because we had to arrange help for a cow that had fallen into the ditch. A poor little creature, but it seemed to be doing well after being rescued. The second part …

September 19, 2025,Achthovense Uiterwaarden en Zouweboezem (2025-21)

After three weeks in Italy, back in the Netherlands for the week's walk, this time again at the Zouweboezem, but this time combined with the Achthovense Uiterwaarden and Polder. A beautiful walk along the Lek River and past the apple orchards between Lexmond and Sluis in Vijfheerenlanden. And for dessert, the oasis of the Zouweboezem. A wonderful morning!

Today I walked the Molenkadepad (clog path). This path has been open since March 2026. There is parking available at the starting point. You begin in the floodplains of the River Lek, after which you pass through fruit orchards into the Achthoven polder. A beautiful Dutch polder landscape.
