See, hear and discover the history of fortified Woudrichem during the QRfgoed children's walking tour. Experience the secure feeling of the stories behind the old buildings and customs of the town. The narrator crawls into the role of Peer Verhagen, who was mayor from 1903 to 1925. Verhagen was also known as Rooie Peer, because he stood up for the poor people. The mayor had a stubborn character. For example, he saw his appointment first as the will of God and only then as the Queen's wish. During the walk, Rooie Peer takes you through special stories that connect the city's history with the present.
QR codes
The children's walking tour makes nine different points. At each point there is a sign with a QR code that takes you directly to the information. Among other things, learn all about the features of fortified Woudrichem, about river fishing and Hugo de Groot. Look inside the house of six-year-old Kjeld, a sailing ship more than a hundred years old.
Start walk
