Beautiful route in a surprisingly beautiful and quiet nature reserve. Largely on grass paths - which is quite difficult - and a few parts on cycle paths. Lots of benches along the way.

Route found on komoot. Thanks @Hilko, but one more question: How did you cross the water at Woudsbloem, was there a ferry?

We were glad it was over, but also looking back on a beautiful route.

What a beautiful area it is; Het Roegwold! I have walked there many times before but I still discovered new paths. I saw many geese.
It was very nice with @Anneke and the weather was great!
