A relatively short walk on a cloudy day, rather close by, starting and ending at a parking just outside Renswoude – on the East side, just across the line of sight from Renswoude Castle over it’s Grand Canal – similar to Versailles, but lacking it’s ‘ grandeur’. The route passes to the works of the Hollandse Waterlinie – a line of defense, consisting of dykes in the lower lands of the Gelderse Vallei. In times of war, these low lands would be inundated; the dykes acting as a lifeline to the fortresses buiklt along the line. This walk crosses two of them on the way.
At end, we headed back to Renswoude, ending on the side of the Renswoude Estate, passing it’s dovecote and church. and the housing of the servanst of the castle – a nattional monument.
I took a number of images, and of course, the track is available here, in Garmin, general and .CSV formats
