Wednesday 7 October 2020 Wandelroute Korenburgerveen near Winterswijk, province Gelderland, approx 8 km

During a autumn holiday trip we positioned our caravan in Camping het Wieskamp and explored the most eastern part of The Netherlands, adjacent to the German border. Great landscape for hikes and cycling.

This hike; very varied walk, counterclockwise (mandatory during Covid-19 pandemic) the most interesting part – and wettest for that matter – is the (peat)swamp in the end. Make sure to bring waterproof footwear and enjoy this scenery; even in the pooring rain 🙂

Sunday 14 June 2020, Wekeromse Zand near Wekerom, Province Gelderland, 8 km

The “Wekeromse Zand” is one of the last remaining ‘drifting sand’ areas in The Netherlands This (circular) hike has entered our personal top 10; very varied, abundant wildlife (birds, insects), primarily off road tracks and cyclists are kept at a distance apart from some mountain bikers… Some ancient burial hills as well, the Celtic fields, ice ages stone and other landmarks and you might even encounter Mouflons. We started our hike at the parking along the Vijfsprongweg near the replica of an iron age farmhouse. .
Sandy or muddy depending on the weather, so sturdy footwear recommended. We tried to follow the ‘red route’ but despite or maybe because of the numerous signposts we navigated primarily with our map.

Wednesday 3 June 2020, Grift en Graftenpad, nr Achterberg, Province Gelderland, 10.5 km

Varied walk near a historic area (war history Grebbeberg) and trough a typical Dutch agricultural landscape and serious attempts to combine this with sustainable natural landscape and leisure facilities. Again a nice ‘Klompenpad’ (wooden shoe path) partly through fields. Part of the walk is on relatively busy and a bit boring tarmac cycle path so make sure you pick a day with scenic clouds for some distraction. Sturdy, waterproof hiking boots or  ‘Wellies’ only necessary on a short route through the fields. This track is really recommended. The path is well maintained and signposted.

Sunday 21 April 2019, Brummen near Zutphen and Dieren, Province Gelderland, 9.5 km

There are a many hiking tracks available in this scenic area near the river IJssel and the largest naturereserve in The Netherlands; Veluwe. We decided to use the track of the local Red Cross as a bases and varied somewhat.
Varied scenery; cultured forest and typical agricultural landscapes…  easy going, bit too much tarmac for our taste (hence our detours) but the roads are pretty quiet so it’s not a real issue. An exceptionally warm and bright  Easter-day with temperatures soaring up to 25 C! Starting point is near Café de Vroolijke Frans…
