May 29, 2023,Maasdünen, Maas und Gennep

On this fresh May day we had planned to take a tour through the Maas dunes and to the Maas.

Past the well-known center park "Het Heijderbos".

Then pure nature with many frog concerts.

On the way, of course, the thick fries (we are in Holland) as provisions.

The paths are very sandy, but no problem with our fat tires.
