Nice starting point for a nice walk in this National Park. Easy to reach from the highway. However, the forest lounge is not always open. Look carefully in advance!

What a beautiful route we walked here in the Dwingelderveld. So varied, forest, heathland, fens... truly enjoyed it!

We left Nijverdal this morning and on the way to Dwingeloo we make a stop at Spier to take a walk across Dwingelderveld. How beautiful it is there!
But this afternoon it got a bit too hot to walk. Fortunately, there was a nice breeze from time to time. We finish with an ice cream.
