Hiking

No heathland walk from this Collection is as exciting as this trip through the Planken Wambuis nature park. The rugged nature and the possibility of spotting the Big Five of the Veluwe make this the ideal environment for a safari in your own country. You have just under 8 kilometers…

This walk seemed familiar to me, we were lucky on the way we came across the cattle and very cool to take a film with the camera, we stayed on the path but still exciting after the walk a coffee at De Planken Wambuis no cake this time 😂🥾☕️🎄

A beautiful walk through the forest and over the heath.

With gnomes on the road! I found it a bit lonely to go looking for the fly agaric on my own... I just brought some friends. https://neeltjeleeft.wordpress.com/2024/10/16/op-zoek-naar/

The 8 km yellow dotted route from Natuurmonumenten at the Planken Wambuis. Parking at Oud Reemst on the Harderwijkerweg.

Today's key word is Overlap. I took a screenshot of a walk from westphilwandelt @a3aanw on IWG this week, and my girlfriend texted me, saying we'd walk at the Planken Wambuis tomorrow. I sent her a picture of mashed pointed cabbage, and the next day she ate a dish from Picknick with pointed cabbage. On Wednesday, we both ate baked chicory ham and cheese, and even the "courses" we were/are taking separately have similarities...coincidence or...? But now about the walk...yes, simply beautiful! A bit of forest, a bit of open space, a bit of lanes, a bit of heathland. I think this is mainly the yellow route with a short detour to the blue one. But we easily followed the GPX route. Unfortunately, we didn't see any cattle or horses. No wild boars along the way either, but we did see plenty of sections that they'd completely plowed.
