With only a few hundred meters of the walk to go, the storks (3) finally showed up.

This walk connects to (and can be combined with) the following other walks I have done in the same area:

Tough walk as at least half of the walk was through swampy/muddy grassland. And you have to climb over some fences. 4 Ewe-
heifer seen. Start and end point is the restaurant Heeren aan de Lek.

Nice walk in the Alblasserwaard. Nice pieces straight through meadows opened by the farmers for walkers
