The path through De Rietbeemd Nature Reserve / the Valley of the Marke is a lovely walk. In the autumn/winter, gaiters (or boots) and even walking sticks are not superfluous accessories for staying upright on a very swampy path.

August 17, 2025,Z57: De vallei van de Mark, Akrenbos

After a week recovering from a virus and no bike to be repaired, we went for another walk.
