Voornepad - round Oostvoornse Meer

This route is part of the Voornepad. With the help of the yellow-red-yellow marking you can walk around Oostvoornse Meer. When you walk over the Brielse Gatdam you will see a beautiful variety of flora and fauna. The Oostvoornse Meer is very popular with divers from the Netherlands, Belgium and even abroad. Especially because of the depth of more than 40 meters and the almost always very good visibility thanks to the hard sandy bottom. At the bottom are shipwrecks, such as the Archimedes from 1839 and the remains of a wooden wreck from the 16th century. The lake is also very popular with trout fishermen.

Along the route is also the (remains of) Castle of Oostvoorne, also called Jacobaburcht, located on a raised hill (motte) in the center of Oostvoorne. The castle was founded at the end of the 12th century by the powerful Van Voorne family. Although little remains of the castle, the remainder is still impressive.

You can start the route from TOP Oostvoorne, the route is indicated from the TOP by means of yellow-red-yellow stickers
