March 6, 2023,Uitzicht Bethunepolder – Vecht richting Maarssen Rondje vanuit Maarssen

Nice walk. There is a part on asphalt where part of the car traffic assumes that the speed limit is only a suggestion. Unfortunately, it runs a lot less relaxed with passing cars. The part in the polder is really beautiful. Peaceful and quiet. Gets a bit soggy when it rains.
