Friday 16 July 2021, Benschop, province Utrecht, approx. 9 km…, ‘klompenpad’ Benedeneindsepad; check out klompenpaden.nl. Although we live relatively close to this area, until now missed this one. Very pleasant surprise; varied, well maintained ‘wooden shoe’ trail. This trail really let’s you enjoy wide views; Dutch skies. It represents what’s been done in The Netherlands to combine agriculture en and nature. If you’re a birdwatcher you won’t be disappointed and even for kids this is an adventures hike with the lookout-tower and manual ferry… The trail is easy to follow, numerous signposts; please beware of the closures during the (bird)breeding season (alternative routing available). And yes, it can be muddy when rainy or snowy so bring sturdy footwear like wooden shoes… 🙂
