Erwin
March 1, 2025, De Zoom-Kalmthoutse Heide — wandelen in onontdekt Nederland

Waterproof footwear is especially recommended. Yesterday, a detour of 1.6 km was also necessary, because the path had become a gigantic fen. But it remained a beautiful but difficult walk. Walking in "soft" or loose sand is more tiring than on a hard forest path. Nevertheless, this walk is breathtaking in many ways
