Sandy Dunes Trail

Highlight • Trail

For a 'flat' walk it goes up and down here regularly, not long but several times. The sand does not make it easier. But the effort is rewarded.

May 15, 2022,Schadijkse Bossen / Heere Peel mit Kunstwandeling 🇳🇱

Today I was out and about in the Schadijkse Bossen. Large parts of the route lead through a beautiful forest 🌳, which was very pleasant in the summer temperatures ☀️. In between you walk through a great heathland. I followed the green route almost the entire time. At the end I made a detour through De Heere Peel and looked …

Today we go to the Schadijkse Bossen. We leave from the parking lot where you will find a sign with the different routes and follow the green route. You wouldn't expect it, but it sometimes goes up and down and up again. You also walk through a part of the Schadijkse Bossen that is full of old drifting dunes. After …

It is best to leave your car at the Lorbaan car park.

The first few kilometers required some detours due to the rain. I was probably not the first hiker to look for other paths 😉

In the best Easter Sunday weather we went through the Schadijkse Bossen, the landscape protection area in North Limburg, to Schaaks Heide. At the …

Another present today. What a beautiful weather, and what a beautiful walk. We would walk the green route, or orange or yellow anyway. In the end, let Komoot decide. We wanted to go to the moors. Now that we have succeeded and how beautiful it is there. When I say nicer than the Posbank. No you can't compare it. Here …

Lovely walk. Autumn can be so beautiful with its many colors and especially with a sun it can't go wrong.
