Want a moment of wow on your route through De Hamert Estate? Then don't miss the Trappenburg viewpoint. You're just a little higher than your surroundings, allowing you to truly read the contours of the landscape: the river dunes, the forests, and sometimes even the contours of the German landscape on the other side. Fun fact: the name Trappenburg doesn't come from an actual castle ruin, as you might think, but from the stepped structure of hills and paths that naturally formed here. Tip: plan this stop around sunrise or sunset. The light makes the view truly magical.

The kind of place where, after a few minutes' walk, you forget you're in the Netherlands. At De Hamert, you'll walk across ancient river dunes from the Ice Age, past vast heathlands and tranquil fens—and suddenly you'll find yourself at a gigantic burial mound: the "Prince's Grave." Thousands of years old. It's quite bizarre to think that people once buried their dead here... and now you're just walking past it. Along the way, with a bit of luck, you'll spot Galloway cattle, numerous birds, and that characteristic silence you can almost literally feel. ✔️ Diverse landscape ✔️ Beautiful vistas ✔️ A touch of mystery & history Tip: take some time at the fens (and if possible, go early in the morning or towards sunset—it's truly magical then).

The route is relatively well marked with red, blue, and red-and-white markers. A stop at the De Hamert restaurant at the end is worthwhile. If parking lot 1 is occupied, the private footpath from parking lot 2 to the route is a welcome addition. Total distance: approximately 8.5 km
