Great rivers trail: from Ammerstol to Nieuwpoort
This time, the hike of the Great rivers trails starts in Ammerstol and continues along the Lek to Schoonhoven. I make an extra detour through the historic city centre of Schoonhoven and then take the ferry to the other side of the Lek. Finally, I walk along the still intact city ramparts of Nieuwpoort.

Great rivers trail: from Zevenhuizen to Hillegersberg, Rotterdam
Today, I reach the Rottemeren via the Great rivers trail in the Netherlands. I start my hike in Zevenhuizen and walk towards the Rottemeren and the Rotte, then I go through the Hoge and Lage Bergse woods. At my destination in Hillegersberg Rotterdam, I have completed Variants A and B of the Great rivers trail in two circles.

Great rivers trail: from Kinderdijk (once more) to Loetbos
This hike on the Great rivers trail goes from Kinderdijk to the Loetbos near Lekkerkerk in the Netherlands. I start in Alblasserdam at the windmills of Kinderdijk, then go to Krimpen aan de Lek. I make an extra round trip to the Bakkerswaal duck decoy, go through the Krimpenerwaard and the Krimpenerhout. I end up in the Loetbos.
Great rivers trail: from Kinderdijk to Hendrik-Ido Ambacht
Today I have yet another plan: to photograph the windmills of Kinderdijk at sunrise. Therefore I decided to walk the part of the Grote Rivierenpad between Hendrik-Ido Ambacht and Kinderdijk in the opposite direction. If the sunrise is disappointing at this time, I have another chance next time. To make the hike a little longer, I also added an extra round trip through the Crezéepolder near Ridderkerk.
