Enjoy the views over the water. The second part of the walk was especially nice, over the towpath. Suddenly there are blossom trees in bloom again. Intense buzzing of bees around the trees...

Today I took a short walk, but the afterglow continues.

The path along this stretch of the Vecht remains special. You walk close to the water, surrounded by nature and stately country houses. And then the skies. Clouds as you know them from the old masters.

Happy Easter.

After a day stuck inside, my legs were getting restless, and I desperately needed some fresh air. Except for a few light showers, it stayed dry. It's a very pleasant loop and easy to extend. You walk half the route along the Vecht River, and the return route follows a relatively quiet road.
