Monday 2 May 2022, Cherry (‘Kersenpracht’) route, Cothen/Wijk bij Duurstede, approx. 8 km, based on Routes in Utrecht. OK, we had the weather on our side, but this hike, relatively close to Wijk bij Duurstede and Utrecht was great. Although the route is intended to take you through blossoming Cherry trees, obviously only a few weeks per year, it’s very varied and offering you some great scenery outside this time-frame as well. You will cross wide open fields, some small bridges and you will wander along the river ‘Kromme Rijn’. Track can obviously be muddy so choose proper footwear depending on the circumstances and bring some beverages and water as there is not too much for sale en-route…
