It is April 12 (2021) and it is my birthday. What could be more fun than going for a hike on your birthday! This time, I am going to continue my way along the Great rivers trail in the Netherlands. I have now arrived in Leerdam and today, I will mostly walk along the Linge river until the town of Beesd. I will pass through several picturesque villages in the Betuwe region. And will I finally have the chance to see blossoms in the fruit trees?
In March 2021, I will return to the Migration birds trail for the third time this month. Today I will hike from Het Schouw to Schellingwoude in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
After a two-month break, I continued with the long-distance trail the Trekvogelpad (Migration birds trail) at the end of February 2021. Via a small detour through Zaanse Schans, I pick up the official trail just outside Wormer. After this I follow the trail through the Engewormer polder, the Jagersveld and the Oostzanerveld to the Twiske nature reserve and recreational area. Halfway through the Twiske, I stop my hike and take the bus back home from Den Ilp.
This time, the hike of the Great rivers trails starts in Ammerstol and continues along the Lek to Schoonhoven. I make an extra detour through the historic city centre of Schoonhoven and then take the ferry to the other side of the Lek. Finally, I walk along the still intact city ramparts of Nieuwpoort.
A report of a great hike on the Grote Rivierenpad. This time from the Loetbos to Gouderak in the Netherlands. The morning mist gave this hike a fairytale atmosphere. Highly recommended!
A report of a part of the Great rivers trail in the Netherlands. This time I hike through the Rhoonse Grienden again, go an extra trail around the peninsula of Klein Profijt and then continue through the Carnisse Grienden to the district of Carnisselanden in Barendrecht.
This time my report of my hike on the migration birds trail: from De Rijp to Boekelermeer in Alkmaar in the Netherlands.
