Because I wanted to walk something different, I drove towards Central Limburg to start this beautiful walk from Zjwame.
Free parking is available at the cemetery on the Otterpad in Swalmen.

The Swalmdam or Schwalmburchtal had been on my list to walk for a long time. Because I didn't know what to expect, but I set out a fairly short walk, but what a beautiful area that is!

I must and will definitely go back there.

Here I am back along the Schwalm for a route with summer colours. The heathers are in bloom to tint the moor and its surroundings purple. The woods and marshy areas follow one another for the greatest pleasure of the eyes. The paths and trails are recommended in all seasons, especially for the practice of Nordic walking.

Have fun with the pictures and descriptions 😊.
