Here you will find all blog posts about Super hikes in the Netherlands (4 stars) in one place. The most recent post is at the top.
Wooden shoes trails are fun and always a surprise! This blog post contains a brief description of the trail (a trail shortcut 😉), a few photos and a simple sketch to illustrate. No need for a hiking map, the info on the website is clear enough. This time, a report about the Teisterbant trail.
This part of the Migration birds trail goes almost entirely through the Dutch National Park of Hoge Veluwe. I stopped just outside Otterlo on the previous hike. From there, I first walk a short distance through the Zanding nature reserve. Then I continue my journey through the beautiful and diverse National Park. I end the hike in Hoenderloo.
The time has come: the last hike on the Southern Waterline trail! At least, nothing is what it seems this time. This stretch goes from Reek to Grave (in the Netherlands), and I actually expect the hike to be quite long and boring. It is certainly long (21 km is long for me), but it is by no means boring. There is something for everyone: expansive views over the polder and the Maas river, but you also pass through the woods and heathlands of the Rustven nature reserve and the Reekse Heide en Bossen. And you can soak up some culture in the charming fortified town of Grave.
Today I am hiking the section of the Migration birds trail between Ede and Otterlo in the Netherlands. The trail is about 20 kilometres with no possibility of stopping earlier. Fortunately, the trail passes through interesting nature reserves such as Ginkelse Heide and Planken Wambuis, so the length will not be a punishment.
Bergen op Zoom in the Netherlands is one of my favourite hiking areas. Once I started with the Southern Waterline trail, I already found out that the city and its surroundings are very beautiful and versatile. I also often came across the yellow-red markings of a regional trail. I wanted to start a regional trail for some time and the Brabantse Wal trail turned out to be an excellent first introduction. In any case, it tastes like more.
Wooden shoes trails are fun! I’ve already picked out the next one. In this blog just a short description of the trail (a trail shortener 😉), a few photos and a simple sketch to illustrate. No need for a hiking map, the info on the wooden shoes trails website is clear enough. This time a report about the Lint and Linie trail.
In this blog, I jump forward in time quite a bit. My last hike was in September 2023 and now it is January in a new year. In this new year, the new hiking adventures can begin! Today, I continue with the Migration birds trail between Rhenen and Ede.

On a hot summer day, I travel to Den Bosch (also called ‘s-Hertogenbosch in Dutch) to continue on the Southern waterline trail. First I go back on the path for a bit to admire Fort Crèvecoeur, then I continue my walk along the Maas river until the town of Maren-Kessel.
To be honest, this part of the Migration birds trail is not what I am looking forward to. Looking in the trail guide, all I see is farmlands from Langbroek to Amerongen. That will be a monotonous hike. But that turns out to be anything but true. Will you join me on this surprisingly fun part of the Migration birds trail?
