May 18, 2023,Rijnstrangenpad vanuit Oud-Zevenaar

Wooden shoe path Rijnstrangenpad.
Started in Oud-Zevenaar and ran clockwise.
Fortunately, the path had just been mowed.
I thought it was a beautiful route.

October 11, 2024,Rondje Rijnstrangen bij Zevenaar

Today, at Florian's invitation, I walked a round of Rijnstrangen with the inspiration network. The first tow ferry is suffering from a low water level. But if you pull hard with five or more people and stand at the very back, the front rises just enough to be able to moor more or less. The walking weather was brilliant: cool, …

A very nice tour, lots of nature and especially now with the many flowers. However, if the water level is very low, the small ferry could become a dead end if it is aground.

August 20, 2022,Zevenaar - Groote Geldersche Waard (Rijnstrangenpad) 🇳🇱

Today we did a tour through the Geldersche Waard near Zevenaar. Start was at the train station in Zevenaar.
From there we mostly followed the Klompenpad Rijnstrangenpad. It leads through fields and river landscapes, often on small paths. In between you have to climb over fences with the help of small running boards. Apparently the path is adjusted. You should …
