April 14, 2024,Sluis Hengelo – Uitkijktoren Kristalbad - West rondtocht vanuit Enschede Johanneskerk

Today I was inspired by a suggestion from komoot. This was a truly beautiful route for a Sunday afternoon run from home. You walk between Enschede and Hengelo through a beautiful nature reserve. I enjoyed it 🤩

Komoot was confused for some reason. Initially there was also another tour that we did at Hof Espelo (on October 22!)... Perhaps we forgot to complete it at the time?! In any case, the Stiewelpad tour took place on November 26 during drizzly weather. That meant a lot of muddy parts where boots or waterproof walking shoes were really necessary...
