Beautiful walking path along the river Winkel

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful walking path, which is part of LAW Waterliniepad. It is nice to know a little more background about the Waterline and the Defense Line of Amsterdam. Then you look at this beautiful piece of nature with completely different eyes.

Bridge and Metal Artworks at De Kwakel

Oude Waver

Beautiful path (road) along the Oude Waver. If it is not windy, you can enjoy reflections in the water. You walk along beautiful houses and with a little luck there are nice boats on the waterfront

Walking trail on the Botsholdijk

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful walking path that goes past Fort in the Botshol. The fort is not really visible from the dike, but if you know that there is a fort, you immediately recognize the characteristic elevation in the landscape.

Beautiful route of Natuurmonumenten, largely unpaved. Partly closed in spring due to breeding season.

We set off rather late, too late, because it was warm and not much shelter

To be on the safe side, take DEET with you

This was a pleasant round, I believe it was a copy of @Ron, thanks for that! The part between 4 and 6 km is a bit monotonous on asphalt. But otherwise it is certainly very beautiful. Milla gives it four stars, that one star less because there is permanent noise from planes taking off from Schiphol. And oh yes: BB …

This one has been on my list for several months. Due to breeding season I had to be patient. It was worth the wait. Lovely walk and in a beautiful landscape. Recommended!

I'd been planning this for a while, but I just hadn't gotten around to it. Today, I finally did. It's so beautiful so close to home :-) With this weather, the route seemed a bit longer than it actually is, but it was doable.
