View of the Washkolk Pond

Highlight • Lake

That's the Washkolk...
Formerly a large fen, it was dry for years due to a leak in the ground. In the 1990s, the Hell's Angels came to spend a few days there every year.
The province has restored the Washkolk to its former glory and was a favorite place for dog owners to take your dog for a swim or to bathe its paws. This has also been prohibited for a number of years and dog lovers have to look for another place ... that would come but is not yet.

Zandenbos Off-Leash Dog Area

Highlight • Forest

The Zandenbos is a large forest area where dogs are allowed to roam freely all year round. Here you can enjoy beautiful hiking trails or simply get lost in the woods for hours. Dogs are allowed to run loose almost everywhere along the yellow nature route (2.5 km) and the blue Rondehuis route (5 km).

September 30, 2024,Wandelen op de Veluwe - bij Nunspeet in het bos, in het bos.. 🐺🌲
