walking through the Green Heart
The Weather Channel indicates that it is dry but if I put my head outside the door, my glasses are no longer usable to look closely with. Sturdy drizzle and it will make you wet. I walk to Sprinter and go to Montfoort to take a walk through the “Green Heart" of the Netherlands. It's still moths, but as I've written before, bad weather doesn't just exist bad clothes.
I park sprinter next to Grand Grutter AH and I'm going to make coffee for Wim who is my guide today. He arrives on the bike of Ijsselstein and did not keep it dry. The coffee is good for us and we are going on the road for the round Montfoort — Linschoten — Oudewater — Montfoort.
Montfoort
Montfoort was built around a castle that was built in 1170 by order of bishop of Rhenen. The bishops didn't have so bad at that time. There is a lot to do in such a castle so soon there arose around a settlement that already received city rights in 1329. It was walled and there was a moat. Of all this, little is left only the IJsselpoort and some loose parts of the city wall.
