The Ravenvennen heathland is very beautiful. Most of the route goes through the forest, which was relaxing but not a particular highlight.

The Maasduinen are always a lovely destination for various hikes. Here, there was the smuggling trail for children, with various stations where the children had to complete certain tasks.

After a two-week break, I was feeling a bit tired today. The sudden heat knocked my circulation a bit, so I had to take several breaks.

Great tour, lots of nature and therefore some surprises along the way that required replanning. But it was fun and at the end the _food break_ in Café Jacobs .... GREAT

Due to the heavy rains in the last few days, there were very large puddles and also a lot of mud on the paths. At the beginning of the path there is a section specially designed for children. There are ropes to swing, …

Especially going to drink cappucino with a delicious piece of cake at Bauernhof Jacobs, just past Jagersrust, highly recommended. A very nice walk through the woods.

Very nice hike. However, one could have saved the first approx. 500m, which one goes through an industrial area. Then you will pass a hiking car park.
