Konik horses at Molenplas

Highlight • Natural

I had some horse luck on my side today. 🙃 The animals weren't bothered by me, so two of them came up to me and let me pet them. 😊

What a gorgeous area. With wonderful animals. A day of vacation with the boys.

Parked hiking car park at the mill in Ohe en Laak Molenveld
Another beautiful day in the DE/NL border area, but this time exclusively on the Dutch side. You always walk along the water through wild horses, herds of cattle and colonies of birds in the Molenplas nature reserve a place that was difficult to pass even without dogs. Large …

The first section took us around the Molenplas (Mill Lake). At the Mill Lake, we were greeted by a rich birdlife and plants typical of wetlands. Free-roaming Galloway cattle and a herd of …

We realized that we were still missing 2 of the WaWaWes, so today we tackled the first of them, the "Molenplas". We extended it a bit though, as 5 km was a bit too short for us. More like a Smurf distance.
Thanks to @Stefan Eßer and @Veronika W for the inspiration.
At first parallel to the busy road and …

The inspiration for this tour around our neighbors in the province of Limburg came from @ThorstenAufmWeg.
It was based on one of the WaWaWe (WaterHikingWorld) tours, called:
"Molenplas - Between Konik Horses and Cormorants."
Thank you so much for the inspiration!


Sorry for the many pictures, the 🐎 galloped through with me again.🫣

BikePacking🇩🇪🇳🇱🇧🇪 Stage #3.5 - Rest the legs and go hiking😍.

Yesterday we arrived in Stevensweert. It was already getting dark, so we checked in first. Today is dedicated to exploring the town and the surrounding area.

The fortress town of Stevensweert lies on an island in the Meuse River and boasts a fascinating history:
☆ First mentioned in documents in …

On a bike tour, the rule is: You should ride for three days, and on the fourth day you should rest or take 24,000 steps.

True to this motto, we're taking a day hike in Stevensweert today. Wherever you look, there's water everywhere. We explore each of these bodies of water on narrow headlands. Here, the geese are alone; humans …

The molenplas is currently not fully accessible until April 22. That's why a piece over the bike path, it's a shame, but there is still plenty of beauty left.
