This route joins The Fortified Town Route at the aqueduct near Uitwijk. Pay attention at the crossing near the pumping station in Meeuwen. Here you not only have to cross, but also walk a short distance on the road with your canoe/kayak. After 200 meters you can go back on the water. Water pumping station Hagoort is also an interesting stop to take a closer look. This pumping station takes care of maintaining the water level in the polder land behind it.
Parallel to the Bergsche Maas runs the North drainage canal. That's where this tour begins, near De Peerenboomse Haven. The round trip skims and crosses the villages of Dussen, Meeuwen and Babyloniënbroek. It is a fairly open route, straight through the polders of Brabant. Do you know the area from a hiking or biking trail? Then you will be surprised by this tour, because you will come across places that are otherwise hidden from you. Characteristic are the beautiful views. Sometimes literally between the legs of grazing cattle. Almost this was a 'forgotten' route, but fortunately rediscovered in time! It is a gem of a route that should definitely not be missed in your itinerary planning!
