Main structure: Hunting paths

Description

A towpath or towpath is a (unpaved) path along a towpath that was used to pull tow barges forward. In the 18th and 19th centuries, migratory cruises were built between old Dutch cities. In addition to the towpath, a towpath was constructed. The pulling of barges on these paths was called hunting. Usually it was hunted by a horse with a companion, but sometimes it also happened with manpower. The most important treks, including adjacent towpaths, in South Holland are: Leiden-Utrecht (anno 1664) Gouda- Amsterdam (anno 1658) Trekvaart Haarlem - Leiden (anno 1657) Vliet (anno 1637/1638) Schie (anno 1636) Delflandse trekvaarten (anno 1645)
