October 19, 2025,Westerwoldepad Etappe 3🐕

March 2023 was the last time we walked the Westerwoldepad. Today was our last leg of the hike. This leg was also beautiful. The Westerwoldepad is highly recommended!
We also had wonderful weather. It was a bit chilly this morning, but when the sun came out, it was glorious!

November 8, 2024,Westerwoldepad route 3 en 4 van Jipsinghuizen naar Sellingen

Westerwoldepad route 3 and 4 from Jipsinghuizen to Sellingen. Sellingen has everything of course. Water features, forests, heathland and vast fields. It is wonderful to walk through it. Sellingen is a nice place with nice shops and restaurants. You also have the Laude nature cemetery in the forests. For enthusiasts. This route is recommended. Beautiful!
