Slaperdijk North (Grebbelinie), Renswoude

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

Nice route to sniff culture and nature.

The name Slaperdijk tells enough. As long as the dike between Wageningen and the Grebbeberg does not break, the Slaperdijk can continue to rest.

"After rain comes sunshine" certainly applied to this walk. Had a lovely walk on these mainly wooden shoe paths. A bit too much asphalt for my liking. Next time I will pay more attention to that when planning.
