De Klinkaartroute guides you along Hellegat (Niel) and Noeveren (Boom), two still largely authentic brickmaking hamlets. Until a few decades ago, Hellegat still had a full-fledged village center with small residential streets, a church, rectory, convent, schools, local shops, pubs, and a 'ferry' to Ruisbroek. All this squeezed between brickworks with typical chimneys and kilometers of drying sheds. Start : parking near Boomsestraat 272/Achterweg, Niel
