Really nice clog path with lots of variety. Strong wind on the heathland felt a bit unpleasant, but definitely worth visiting again in blooming time.

Fantastic walk. Walked together with son Thomas. No inconvenience from high water. Really enjoy the spontaneous lake and rivers along the way and fast flowing streams. It gives this already beautiful Klompenpad an extra dimension.

Picked up the route from the beautiful Staverden estate and made an extra loop to the underdike cave on the Ermeloseheide. A beautiful route through forests, heathland and along streams, varied and arriving just before the shower.
