Tour of Sleeuwijk

(11.3 km)

The 'Rondje Sleeuwijk' is like a tasting of everything the Biesbosch Line has to offer. You walk through green floodplains and rural areas. Along the way you will discover casemates of the New Dutch Waterline and the mills that powered the area for centuries.

You start at brasserie Boven de Rivieren, a restaurant in the harbor of Sleeuwijk. Behind this restaurant, the floodplains form a beautiful nature reserve: De Groesplaat. The entrance to this is a gate to the right behind the restaurant.

You walk towards Woudrichem along the river, where you can pick delicious blackberries in the summer. Before Woudrichem you leave the floodplain and walk into the polder. At the two mills you follow the Liniepad, a walking path that goes from Fort Bakkerskil to Slot Loevestein . The mills can be visited when the sails are turning. Along the Liniepad are several casemates that can also be visited inside with some scrambling. In this piece of nature, rich in cultural heritage, you will find several benches to enjoy the surroundings. Through the outskirts of Sleeuwijk, this route goes back to the floodplain and you arrive at the end point.
