Parking at the marina may be chargeable.
In my case the barrier was up and no one could be seen 😊

September 1, 2024,Runde um den See De Bijland bei Tolkamer

This morning we set out early to walk around Lake De Bijland.
But we still got caught in the midday heat.
After a long break for the dogs and a cooling off in the lake, the last stretch of the route was bearable.
A lovely walk. Highly recommended. Maybe not on a Sunday, as there were lots of bikes on …

August 17, 2022,Wanderung um De Bijland bei Nieselregen 👍😀

Today we drove to Tolkamer to hike around the lake.🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️At these temperatures, that's ok for our Woody too.🐶🐕
Halfway through it started raining. Nature needs it.
It wasn't bad for us.
Don't be tempted to walk straight into the water.
Here you sink into the sand.
Our Woody noticed 😁 see picture 1
