Round Waardhuizen
A delightfully rural walk. Walk through the green heart of Altena and enjoy rural paths, picking fruit and the art-work benches along De Alm. You can choose the route of 8 km, or walk 6.5 km extra to visit nature reserve Het Pompveld.
Short route: 8 km
This village has about 250 inhabitants, a real small core. You walk almost all the streets of this core. Along Waardhuizenseweg there are fruit trees on the unbuilt side of the street. When the fruit is ripe, you can pick it. You walk along river De Alm with benches, designed by artists from the region, to the end point.
Long route: 14.7
This route also takes you past the picking trees on the Waardhuizenseweg. After crossing the village, turn right towards the Pompveld. This road is not a nice walk, there is hard driving by cars, but it is the only way to get to the beautiful nature reserve. You stroll along the edges of this nature reserve, the core of the area is for nature. A wonderful rest area with wonderful places to picnic and enjoy!
