Tour of Uitwijk

(6.6 km)

During the round trip to Uitwijk you walk along the small river Alm, the Almbos forest (picking is allowed) and along Fort Giessen. A varied walk through rural areas.

You start at the bandstand in this cozy village. The church in this village is worth a visit. You walk along the little river the Wijde Alm in the direction of Rijswijk to end up at Almbos Giessen, the southernmost fort of the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie. If the gate is open, take a look! A volunteer will be happy to show you the fort. Taking the country road towards Waardhuizen, you will arrive back at the bandstand in Uitwijk.

You can extend the route by walking straight ahead at junction 11 towards junctions 34 and 35. A beautiful route along the Wijde Alm in nature. At junction 35 you turn right towards points 37, 36 and 13. Then you are back at the point where this route started.
