February 16, 2008, Goejanverwellesluis (Oudewater), Wat en Hoe wandelgids route 2, 11 km. Typical Dutch scenery again, starting on the pavement of the historic center of Oudewater, but soon becoming and remaining a great, yet muddy trail over the dikes and through the fields between Oudewater, Hekendorp and Haastricht during the first half and subsequently following the tow-path next to the Hollandsche IJssel back East again. Not too many people around, wear waterproof hiking boots and pick the right time of day / weather as the track takes you through open country and there’s hardly any shelter available.
