Sunday 3 May 2020, Vuylcoppad, nr Schalkwijk, Province Utrecht, 8.5 km
Varied walk through a historic inundation area (war history) and passing a ‘drowned forest’. The area is now assigned as a water-storage area, situated amidst various historic ‘waterlinie’ landmarks (fortresses) although you will have to stray from your route a bit to pay them a visit. Again a nice ‘Klompenpad’ (wooden shoe path) through the fields. Part of the walk is on (quiet) tarmac roads but the real fun starts when you cross the fields. Sturdy, waterproof hiking boots or ‘Wellies’ recommended although we were fortunate enough to complete this hike on a dry day. The path is well maintained and signposted.
