Red skate route - 20 km

You can start the route at the Oogstpark where there is a large car park. There is a lovely garden where you can drink a cup of coffee or tea before setting off. From the car park, turn right and follow the route over the Oude Veerweg. At the crossing turn right on the Zeedijk.

Follow the Zeedijk straight ahead. On your right you have a beautiful view of the Nieuwe Dordtse Biesbosch. You can see the van Elzelingenweg crossing the nature reserve here. The bike paths in the Nieuwe Dordtse Biesbosch are also great for skating. But the route goes straight ahead here, continuing along the Zeedijk.

At Fluitekruid you can relax on the sunny terrace and enjoy a snack and drink. The route turns left a little further on at the junction to the ferry kop van 't Land.

Turn left onto the Zuidendijk. You can also start your route here, at the parking place Bovenpolder. You follow this dike for a long time with on your right side the neighbourhood Dubbeldam.

You still skate nice and straight along the Zuidendijk with views of beautiful monumental farms along the dike.
Keep following the dike along the top, crossing over with the Schenkeldijk, at the traffic circle straight ahead on the bike path.

You pass the Sterrenburg shopping centre on the right-hand side. Here you will find various shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Follow the cycle path under the viaduct, straight on at the next crossing with Kometenlaan. At the end of the dike, turn left and then cross the junction straight ahead and continue on the cycle path.

You now skate on the Wieldrechtse Zeedijk and turn left onto the Zanddijk. You follow this dike through the polders and past Willow trees to the end. You then turn left and go over a small bridge to the cycle path Langs den Engel. Follow this path along the dike all the way to the end, passing the barriers.

You are now skating through De Elzen nature reserve. Go straight on at the next crossing (keep left). Continue until the junction with the Oude Veerweg. If you turn left here, you are back at the starting point. If you want to skate further, turn right and follow the blue striped signs. You can then follow the blue skateroute (10 km).
