Dussen is close to the Bergsche Maas River. This river was dug by hand at the beginning of the last century to protect 't Hertogenbosch from flooding. From the village you walk towards this river. Along the way you come across a free ferry. Even after more than a century, this is still a gesture to compensate farmers for being separated by the river from their fields on the other side. Everyone gets to enjoy this, because crossing the river costs nothing.
Towards Meeuwen you come across a lovely picnic area. You cross the provincial road (pay attention) and then walk back into the rural part of Dussen. After junction 70 you walk past the windmill into the nature reserve Kornsche Boezem, also called the Kleine Biesbosch. This is also a great place for a picnic. Along an old dike with monumental farms and a clog maker you walk to the end point.
