Although this round has a bit more asphalt than I usually like, we still really enjoyed this trip around the Braassemmermeer. In particular, the part of the grass dike along Rijnsaterwoude, the part on the other side with nice catering establishments at Paal 7 and beautiful buildings, in combination with the sun, 25 degrees and a nice breeze, and two …

Tour around Braassemermeer. At times pretty straight forward with traffic. But if you sit on a bench next to water, that makes up for a lot. The 2 ferries on the way also make it fun.

A little against my better judgement, @Aad en Milla wrote months ago that this was not recommended. And even on the walk we questioned that. The western part is very pleasant, say from the ferry Leimuiden - Oudewetering (which was still closed at 9 am), to the ferry Paddegat. Nice path along the Brasemermeer. But as soon as we get …

Took a walk around the Braassemermeer. Afterwards, this walk turns out to be an ANWB walk. Personally, I am not in favor of these walks because the ANWB is there for motorists, cyclists and walkers.
Besides the foregoing, it is a beautiful area. The walk starts in Roelofsarendsveen where you soon end up at the Veer over de Oude Wetering …
