October 23, 2022,Rondwandeling vanuit Sterksel (KPW) 🚶🚶‍♀️🍄🍁🍂

Today we made a beautiful circular walk from Sterksel. A walk that often goes through the woods and over the heath.
De Lange Bleek, Keelven and through the Pan.
Autumn is now at its best with lots of mushrooms 🍄🍄 and the colored leaves 🍁🍂🌰
Not so far from home it's beautiful and you always discover new places

What a wonderful day with this beautiful route from the collection of Carlos and Monique.
Snow, what a surprise... Fantastic!! And then also a large part of the day a sun! 😃
I enjoyed a lot. Even without snow I think a very nice route.
