Triggered by this beautiful view. Get off the dike and discover the Brakel estate. An estate with a park forest, castle ruins and moat and an old vegetable garden with many types of plants. There are also old orchards and a new park area with deciduous forest, flower meadows and a pond.

June 12, 2025,Kijken hoe ver de waaldijk nu is.

I decided to get on my bike without any destination. At the bridge to Sleeuwijk I thought, well, I'll just go straight on, through Gorinchem and then back onto the dike. How far will I be able to stay on the dike?

A beautiful dike tour along the (?) Waal from Zaltbommel to Gorinchem on the other side. Unfortunately, we were repeatedly diverted from the dyke to the country road from the Vuren Fortress due to dyke construction work. Luckily we saw a lot of storks in Herwijnen.

Today from Zaltbommel the dike tried to see how far it could be cycled. I had hoped that they had already gone further, but that was not the case. All in all, back through the polder a bit because along the provincial road is sooo boring 🥱
