You start at the parking lot along the dike overlooking the Afgedamde Maas. The first part of the walk you follow this dike and you can enjoy the beautiful view towards the province of Gelderland that lies on the other side of the water. Between the trees you can see Slot Loevestein and sometimes you can also see large grazers on the river bank. You walk along the Petter trail, named after former mayor Frank Petter who is also known for saving a very elderly woman from drowning in the wide ditch next to the trail. In the vernacular, then, the Petter trail is called Spetterpad with a smile. You continue walking along the Veldweg to get back to Rijswijk. This walk combines perfectly with the walk around Woudrichem!
