Around Giessen
Visit Fort Giessen and make a side trip to the Wilhelmina Lock. Walk along the dike, through the village and return to the starting point via the Almbos, where you can pick when the fruit is ripe. A fine route for a breath of fresh air!
The hike starts at Fort Giessen, the southernmost fort of the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie. When open, it is definitely worth a visit. The volunteers will be happy to tell you about the period of the First World War. An experience park has also been developed with a trench. There is an unpaved walking path around the fort.
The walk leads you through the village, toward the Wilhelmina Lock. Want to take a look? Then walk after node 27 along the provincial road towards the lock. Then walk over the dike towards the connection with the walk around Rijswijk and through the village and Almbos (picking is allowed) to the end point.
