Today we walk the centurie old paths, paths made in as early as 12-13 century. The Bloemendaalseweg in Gouda is a very old reclamation road, constructed in the Middle Ages (probably around the 12th or 13th century). It is one of the oldest polder roads in the area and was used to reclaim the marshy peatlands north of the city. Winterdijk is one of the oldest paths to and from Gouda. It was mentioned as early as 1359. The path is situated on a dike that was constructed to ensure that the reclaimed land behind the Gouwe would not be flooded during high tide. The Winterdijk was given this name because the highest water levels of a river are often reached in winter, making the dike necessary at that time. Until the 1950s, the Winterdijk was very rural, with a few houses, market gardens, and farms. Due to the construction of the Bloemendaal Quartier, a large part of the Winterdijk was lost. What’s left is a part going through the city from Van Bergen IJzendoornpark, following the railway line, and the second part over the polder, going through wonderful Dutch nature Both of these roads seem lots of changes throughout centuries, but they are still very much part of today’s Gouda.

We took a short walk and sat at the pier sunbathing, so aware that these days are rare and we should fully appreciate and enjoy them.

When you live in Holland it’s easy to be in nature. Every you go, nature is intertwined. We went from nice suburb walk into the reclaimed land, where farming and nature. preservation goes hand in hand. Perfect walk. Ok now I need to wash my shoes, as I bought to much “nature” with me 🤭
