Beautiful varied walk on sandy roads and farmland, through the forest (full of ferns), on an unexpected boardwalk and along heathland. We didn't need boots in the summer (even after a week of rain), but this can of course be different in other seasons.

Too much forest, too little boccage landscape. Nice round friends. Wear long pants because many mosquitoes in September in any case.

Via komoot I came across the boot path.
What a surprising piece of nature! Lots of water and mud. The name lives up to its name.
After the boot path I followed a black route. Part of that is the gnome path.
I came across signs with clog path. For next time!
