Tour Sleeuwijk/Werkendam
During the Rondje Sleeuwijk/Werkendam you will enjoy the beautiful river landscape and ancient heritage. Visit Fort Altena and take a look at the windmills you encounter along the way. They are open when the sails are turning!
The hike starts at Fort Altena, a fort that belongs to the New Dutch Waterline. Don't forget to explore this fort before or after your hike! You walk towards the village of Werkendam, where in the past and still today, inland navigation plays an important role. You walk towards mill De Vervoorne Polder, when it is running, it is open for viewing. The millers are happy to tell you their story! Then you head towards the Upper Merwede, a busy river. From the dike you have a good view of this. Through the underpass of the A27 you walk to the end point. Close to the fort are two windmills that can be visited when they are running. Follow the Liniepad from the fort and you will pass them.
