The stage starts in Waalwijk. Through the bustling center of this city you walk towards the Baardwijkse Overlaat, a nature reserve of over 48 hectares. The area was originally used to hold the water of the river Maas at high tide. Then you walk along the Heidijk, Molensteeg and Zeedijk towards the Bergsche Maas and via there to the fortified town of Heusden. Here stood one of the first moated castles of northwestern Europe around which the city was eventually built. Heusden was one of the first Dutch cities to get a city wall. Fortunately, thanks to large-scale restorations, much of the old Heusden has been preserved.
After going around and through Heusden, the stage ends in Hedikhuizen.
This 11th stage is part of the 290 kilometer Zuiderwaterliniepad between Bergen op Zoom and Grave. Stage 10 of this route also passes through the De Langstraat region (Waspik - Waalwijk). By walking stage 10 and 11 together - with or without an overnight stay in between - you can experience the water-rich De Langstraat region to the full.
