Limespad etappe 17 en 18a: Nijmegen naar Kekerdom
Een schitterende wandeling rondom Nijmegen met veel heuvels en heel veel groen. Ik denk dat dit wel een van mijn favoriete wandeling is. Ook omdat het tweede gedeelte weer zo leuk door grensland gaat met al die vreemde bijzonderheden in het landschap en een belade geschiedenis. Helaas werkte het weer…

Part 2 of our weekend two-parter. And then you walk stage 17 after 18 in the correct order. The hike was truly magnificent. Lots of mountains, lots of forest and interesting Roman facts along the route. Definitely worth the effort. After the devil's mountain, you suddenly walk back into the floodplains

After visiting a congress and daughter in Nijmegen, the plan was still to hike for a weekend. It became the last 2 stages of the Limespad in a diptych. The starting point was Kekerdom where we left the car in a parking lot. Immediately you are on the dike and in the floodplains with a view first of the

And there it is, the final stage. Unfortunately, I hadn't had a great night's sleep and it was a physically somewhat lesser day. Plenty to see along the way today, though. After Burgum, through a beautiful wooded area which was pleasant to walk through. With a very nice encounter with Petra and Auke

We depart from Drachten. It takes a while before we can leave the city behind us. The landscape is beautifully open but also has a lot of variety due to the many tree lines that are there. In Oudega we could take shelter at the Spar, which has an extensive lunch/take-away assortment. And very friendly

In the morning, a beautiful morning mist lies over the meadows. What a wonderful start to the day with a fantastic breakfast in the early sun as a big bonus. After breakfast, we continue the route, first to Jubbenga towards Lippenhuizen where the heath is in full bloom. Today a very varied walk along

Starting point station Wolvega. Today already at half past seven in the train because due to works the journey is quickly 3 hours. And because we do 3 stages in 2 days it is quite a trek. Soon we leave the built-up area behind us and walk through the Frisian countryside. So beautiful after all those

What peace in Kalenberg. In the morning there was really almost nothing to hear and the dew slowly set in. It was nice to start still somewhat cool because it was supposed to get warm today. In the morning there were still some shaded parts, but not in the afternoon anymore. We pass through Oldenmarkt

Stage 17 of 'in the footsteps of Bonifatius'. We keep coming onto unknown terrain. Along the edges of the former Zuiderzee we walk through meadows and on the edge of polder and loess ridges. Old and new land alternate. The weather is nice and there are many tourists on the road and in the water. But

Rode the first serious kilometers with a new bike. We'll see how it goes. It's a shame that when cycling you really see and take fewer photos than when walking.

What a wonderful hiking day today. Because we had already walked half of today yesterday, it was only 10 kilometers today. And unlike yesterday, we started straight into the green through the Voorsterbos. After crossing the lock and the pumping station, we dived into the Waterloop forest on the other

Today the challenge was public transport again. There is no bus to Nagele, Ens or Schokland on Saturdays and Sundays. But Schokland was at the top of the list to visit. To avoid being a bit worn out after kilometers of asphalt from Emmeloord, we had made it easy for ourselves and asked a taxi to take

Oef, what can I say about this hike. There's a fair amount of mental work involved in hiking here. The number of turns in the road can be counted on one hand. I would definitely choose a cloudy day to hike here because there is no shade. And public transport is also a challenge. From Nagele, there is

We continue walking with Bonifatius and started at Lelystad CS. It takes a while before we pick up the route again and then walk a long stretch along the water. The wind turbines make strange noises. I think I hear a techno hum all the time. In the north of Flevoland, we pick up the Pionierspad through

Our last day and thus the last part of the 2nd loop. And it was a worthy farewell to our hiking adventure. Where the first part already showed a lot to see, this stage also started with many rocks and ravines that you sometimes really have to wriggle through. A flashlight would have been useful here

We wanted to try out trail shoes and there is a nice trail shoe shop in Alphen. That was a nice invitation to walk here. So said, so done. The route was not disappointing at all. Lots of greenery, lots of polders, and with a bit of creativity, fun things can be added. For example, there are foot ferries
