Purperreiger Walk Part 2

A week later we drove to Meerkerk again and walked another part of the trail, the 7 km loop. Again it was a nice warm day. 

 This time the route led us behind the windmill. 

Lazy cow

Cracked pollard willows.

On the right side is an old orchard (Rijskade) with old apple and pear varieties. It is bordered by pear trees which has been espaliered. 

This was a nice place for a break.

Lots of ducklings

"Molenkade" is the name of this path with pollard willows.

Following this path we ended up at the "Zederikkade" near the "Vlietmolen"  mill. 

Our first walk was the route with  numbers on this map. The second walk is the loop marked by letters.
