Track * Parked the car at the Rodenrijs railway station, walked Southwest to Kethel and along the northern border of Vlaardingen to a rest at restaurant Vlietzicht, about 16.4 kilometres. From there, slightly East from North, over Schipluiden and Den Hoorn to the railway station in Delft a 13-kilometre walk. There we took a train the The Hague, followed by light rail back to Rodenrijs. * 1617 x 1293 * (784KB)
Google * The track projected on Google, the numbers refer to the photos so you have an idea of the location they were taken. The weather was as bright as the Google Maps image looks like. * 1238 x 861 * (324KB)
01-Building * Near Berkel-Rodenrijs, in a new business area, this building houses a technical firm * 1707 x 555 * (93KB)

10-Zuidmolen * Looking forward; the building on the right is a house built in the remains of a mill that once pumped water out of the low area into the Poldervaart; straight ahead there used to be another lock, between the mill outlet and the Poldervaart - now gone, like the mill. * 1984 x 1488 * (452KB)
