thin bouy

Ooltgensplaat, Volkerak

Ooltgensplaat, forgotten & quiet old town with a decent bakery, near town hall, supermarket, & that rare thing a near Petrol station (straight past bakery turn right 100 mtrs) Straightforward access via buoyed channel through guard gate, & town cut. Have only been up by dinghy due to our draft)

view from the guard gate way up tp town
moorings up the last of the cut

The town quay has an almost French feel to it.

 

Unfortunately depths through the gard gates are about 2 mtrs

town hall Another view of the town hall. Also nearby is an old fort
town hall Ancient 16c town hall shows the faded inportance
Quaint old high street, nice church at bottom highstreet
