Continue until you can go no further, then turn left and cross the road (Klaprozenweg) – the bridge should be on your right hand side. As soon as you have crossed the road, you are on the Koppelingpad. The canal should be on your right hand side. After approximately 200 meters Koppelingpad becomes Bongerdkade. It’s a fifteen-minutes-walk.
You can also take the bus. Take bus 35 to Molenwijk. This bus can be found at the back of the station.
