August 13, 2023,Bijvoetpad. te laat aangezet en na de pauze vergeten optijd aan te zetten!

Nice route. A lot of cyclists now and then 😉 in the beginning from the parking lot it was looking for the beginning. If you have your back to the hunebed museum, turn right and this is the beginning. You go through Borger at some point why don't ask me 🤫 I would skip it. At the largest hunebed you …

After about 10 km we decided to add a round on the Drouwenerzand. Later we picked up the route again. When we …

They are the oldest structures in Holland and the largest passage or large stone grave is after all 22.5 m long and approx. 4 m wide …
