You start at brasserie Boven de Rivieren, a floating restaurant in the harbor of Sleeuwijk. Behind this restaurant the floodplains form a beautiful nature reserve De Groesplaat. The entrance to this is a gate to the right behind the restaurant. You walk towards Woudrichem along the river, where you can pick delicious blackberries in the summer. Before Woudrichem you leave the floodplain and walk into the polder. At the two mills you follow the Liniepad, a walking path that goes from Fort Bakkerskil to Slot Loevestein. The mills can be visited when the miller is present and the sails are turning. Along the Liniepad are several casemates that can also be visited inside with some scrambling. There are several benches in this piece of nature where cultural heritage is richly represented. Through the outskirts of Sleeuwijk this route goes back to the floodplain and you come to the end point.
