November 19th, 2005, Route 96, Mariapeelroute, 9 km, To be honest, as you can find out when studying the photo’s, we didn’t see a lot during our walk. It was a cold (2 C), misty day. However, the scenes we saw were worth while anyway, especially if you’ve just read a book about swamp ghosts and… get lost so you walk 12 km i.s.o. 9… The scenery is basically the result of the activities of farmers who did a lot of peat – digging to survive in the old days… Easy trail, some parts obviously wet. Following the trail marks proved to be a challenge, the route is a combination of several other routes and crossed by long distance trails as well.. Anyway, worthwhile; very varied, some parts open, some parts forest….
