October 2, 2024,🇳🇱 Rottige Meente naar Braandenmeer

The first part was nice with the boardwalk.
The walk from the bridge (Oldelammerbrug) to Braandemeer and around the lake and back to the bridge I found difficult because of the grass and the tufts of grass. The path was uneven. Very beautiful there though!!
