Monday 2 August 2021, Wageningen, province Gelderland, approx. 13 km…, ‘klompenpad’ Wageningse Engpad; check out klompenpaden.nl. This hike demonstrates perfectly why the famous Wageningen University & Research (WUR) is located in this town; the landscape is extremely varied with lots of special terrain. The views over the riverbanks of the river Rhine are impressive, You will pas grape-fields, wild-flower meadows, fields, forests, city gardens, a memorial site, old estates and finish the hike wandering trough a well maintained Arboretum with a unique Rhododendron collection. Again an impressive mix of agriculture and nature! It’s usually not difficult to select 5 pictures representing the character of the hike… yet this time these 5 pictures really don’t suffice so you’ll have to go and look for yourself… The trail is relatively easy, about 100 meters ascent, well maintained although as always it can be muddy when rainy or snowy so bring sturdy footwear like wooden shoes… 🙂
