There was a lot to see and experience between Hotel Restaurant Faber in Hoogezand and the former lock in Martenhoek in previous centuries. Guide Jan Helmers will tell you about the history of this part of Hoogezand.
Tens of thousands of ships sailed there every year, skippers went to the café and there were chic buildings, shipyards and factories.
On Wednesday afternoon, January 24, guide Jan Helmers, born and raised ‘Oukster’ (born in Martenshoek), will tell you all kinds of interesting facts about the history of this part of Hoogezand while walking.
The walk starts at Hotel Restaurant Faber. On the corner building opposite there are large photos of what it once looked like here and here and there along the rest of the route there are corresponding posters with photos from the past. During the break there is time for coffee or tea and something tasty.
