October 21, 2025,Merckenburgse(klompen)pad

Today, in the autumn weather, I walked a 16km wooden shoe path called the Merckenburgsepad. Luckily, all the wet weather of the past few days kept the slippery and sliding going. The path passes the most beautiful spots in Asperen and Heukelum. And along the way, there were several views of Merckenburg Castle.

Unfortunately, about 35% of the route was paved (asphalt), which felt less pleasant, but on the other hand, the rest of the route …

A suggested route from Komoot along the beautiful river De Linge. Route goes over gravel, grass and a quiet asphalt road. A passage was difficult to pass through overgrown undergrowth. Route partly through the Staatsbosbeheer area and over Landgoed Heerlijkheid Heukelum.
