Bench With a View of the River

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the most beautiful spots on an equally beautiful walking and cycling path in this region. I call this bench my Skybox... just sit there and you will understand why.

Beautiful walking path along the river Winkel

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful walking path, which is part of LAW Waterliniepad. It is nice to know a little more background about the Waterline and the Defense Line of Amsterdam. Then you look at this beautiful piece of nature with completely different eyes.

February 10, 2026,Rondje langs Vinkeveen en Abcoude vanuit Ouderkerk a/d Amstel

Like so many other home rounds, today was once again a watery event with the rivers Waver, Winkel, Gein, Angstel, Abcoudermeer, Holendrecht and finally Bullewijk, where we also started from Ouderkerk a/d Amstel. The banks have now been largely mown and their reed collars removed, a bare sight that I'm having to get used to again. The polders are still …

A bit of a setback. No sun today, but this beautiful walk with so much to see made up for it and provided some enjoyable walking. Coots are often the first waterfowl to have visible nests, and I've already seen several today. In another week, the breeding season officially starts on March 15th, and it's time to be careful again, …

Enjoyed a beautiful Dutch Polder and Rivers walk with my good friends @Edgar und Alice today in beautiful walking weather, it was great fun. Ate delicious kibbeling in Abcoude with an Italian ice cream and ended the walk in style with a delicious beer in one of the most beautiful places on the Amstel in Ouderkerk 🍺😊👋

Wonderful round in beautiful hiking weather where a lot happened and much beauty was to be seen along the way, with the insects taking center stage. These critters were certainly not a plague today but provided me with a true photographic feast! 🤩🥳 At café-restaurant Bon, a nice coffee break was taken, and after Abcoude, the lake of the same …

This morning at 09:00 I was ready for a relaxed home run, one more coffee and then... Go, but it was getting darker and the rain radar had revised its forecasts downwards considerably, aaaiii a bit of a downer, what now... it really didn't look good digitally so just another coffee and wait, it would get better around 12:30 but …

A wonderful polder and river ride with surprisingly healthy progress... distance already in double digits!

Last day of October... and we narrowly missed the birth of a calf! 🤩😍
