Discover the beautiful countryside around Schalkwijk. Ramble through meadows, past a string of farms and see the forts that make up the New Dutch Water Line. Enjoy spacious vistas, peace and quiet, and discover the old fortifications. Don hardy footwear and your rucksack and set off!

So what is a Klompenpad, a Wooden Shoe Walk?
These are walks that for as far as possible take you along unpaved paths, farmland and historic routes. The String and Line Wooden Shoe Path (Lint- en Liniepad) passes by the forts of the New Dutch Water Line, including the Werk aan de Groeneweg, part of the fortifications of nearby Fort Honswijk. In order to camouflage the defence works, orchards were planted around 1930.
