Thursday 31 October 2012; Duivelsbergroute (“Devils’Mountain route) in Berg en Dal, in the east of the Netherlands, just touching the border with Germany; ‘wandelboek’ route 40, 9 km according to the book, our GPS told us 7.4 km. A very uncharacteristic hike for the Netherlands, considering the height of the hills and the steep climbs. Situated just west of the German city of Kleve this is indeed an interesting walk. Prepare for some steep climbs and descents and proper footwear is recommended. Note that you can extend the hike up to 18 km by following the green signposts, promising some spectacular views. Definitely recommended, especially if you want to escape the flat landscapes of the Netherlands or get some practice before you really go up to serious hills and mountains
