In warm, sunny weather, this entry point is ideal for a cool, undisturbed swim in the Veluwemeer.
Simply a wonderful and quiet location.

A walk with a lot of variety. Better not walk when the sun is shining. Lots in the open fields.

The weather was fantastic again, but the route was so well... Unfortunately, we had to reschedule a little at short notice, as dogs were not allowed on a section. Wasn't read out from the tour description beforehand. 🫤
I shouldn't have done the first third of the way now, but the section at the Veluwemeer made up for it 😍
