Round the Pancake

The Pannekoek is a beautiful area full of pollard willows, perhaps the most common tree in this area. During this route you can have a nice wander around on the way there or back before continuing the route. On the Pannekoek is also a so-called cut willow with different species of willow. This willow is harvested annually and the branches used to be made into baskets and baskets and also used to bind large bundles of wood together.

You park at the Biesbosch MuseumEiland. There is ample free parking and a charging station for electric bicycles. The museum is open all year round. You can visit the museum, of course, but also enjoy a cup of coffee or a delicious lunch in the restaurant area.

Our storyteller Prisca took a look at the pollarding of the willows at De Pannekoek and wrote a story about it.

Tip!
During the winter months you can come and watch the willow pollarders in the pond (provided you keep some distance). Especially in the winter period it is wonderful hiking in the area. The peace and quiet are exceptional and along the way you will see many animals such as hares and different types of birds. With some luck you might even spot an industrious beaver!
