Saturday 25 July 2009, Vijfheerenroute, Hei- en Boeicop, 14 (or 20) km, (‘Zuid-Hollands Landschap; www.zuidhollandslandschap.nl). Unmarked trail, so collect your copy of a route description at a local tourist agency (VVV) or at ‘Natuurcentrum de Schaapskooi’ where you can park your car as well… Run by volunteers, it’s not open 24/7 so check opening times if you want to be sure (+31 (0)345 641 201 or www.natuurcentrum.nl) . The description provides you with a lot of interesting information as well, adding to the pleasure of this nice hike. There are a few short (nature trails) in the adjacent to the track, so you can ad quite some interesting kilometers to original trail… More information on this in the leaflets.. Excellent environment for bird watching… note that a significant part of the track leads you over muddy and unpaved roads, characteristic for this ‘swamp like’ area… It is a polder… so you’re well below sea level and the area was developed around the peat – industry…
