Idyllic piece of Dutch landscape. De Vlietmolen is a seesaw mill on the Zederikkade in Lexmond in the Dutch municipality Vijfheerenlanden. It was built for the drainage of the polder-Lakerveld. The mill drained it together with the 'Bonkmolen' and the disappeared 'Lekkersche Molen' and the also disappeared 'Rode or Overtogtmolen'. The Vlietmolen was in operation until 1986. Jan van Wijk was the last miller employed by the polder and has performed this task more than sustained for 60 years.

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This route leads you along the water, where you can enjoy the beautiful view over the river and the adjacent villages and beaches. However, as the ground can be swampy in some areas, it is important to wear good shoes to ensure a comfortable walk. The breathtaking views and challenge of the trail make this a must-do activity for adventurous travelers looking to explore the great outdoors.

September 19, 2024,Vogelkijkhut met uitzicht – Molen bij de oude Zederik rondtocht vanuit Jaarsveld

The first part was disappointing, a very busy dike where people drove very fast. But once we were allowed into the floodplains it was really enjoyable. Sometimes a bit of searching and straight through …

September 6, 2025,*Polder Achthoven rond Lexmond

A beautiful hiking route with mostly unpaved roads. Only in Lexmond and the last section are paved/asphalt roads. This hike is best done when the floodplains are dry, otherwise you'll have to walk along the Achthoven dike, which is quite busy with traffic. You'll encounter this on the last section, but I wouldn't skip this hike for that. The Dutch …
