    Beautiful circular route in the De Maasduinen Nature Park. Here you can wonderfully switch off and relax.

    Especially early in the morning, when the visitor center is not yet open and only a few walkers are around, the just under 8 km long circular route (red marking posts) invites you to a leisurely stroll through the dunes around Reindersmeer. In early summer, countless frogs hold their concert. On a few sections the hiking path shares the trail with the cycle path.

    Author’s recommendation

    There are no dining options along the way. So you should bring enough food and drinks with you. However, after completing the full route, you can treat yourself at the visitor center and the attached restaurant. 

    You really shouldn't miss the cable ferry, which you have to operate yourself. But then you either have to shorten the route or walk it as a figure 8 (and possibly use the ferry twice). 

    Depending on time and fitness, you can also connect the route with a round around Leukemeer.

    Safety information

    This route around Reindersmeer is marked with red markers, mostly posts.

    Roadbook

    The starting point is the visitor center. From there you simply follow the red markers, mostly posts. On my visit, I turned left around the playground and first crossed the boardwalk. This led me mainly through the somewhat deeper sand on the first part. In between, however, the path is also sometimes a bit firmer and therefore very easy to walk. 

    After just under 3.5 km, you could shorten the route and cross with the cable ferry (which you have to operate yourself). 

    Shortly after, the hiking trail meets the paved but not asphalted cycle path but soon turns off again, so you walk on sandy paths above the lakeshore past some ponds. 

    Soon, however, there is quite a stretch of path shared with cyclists. Eventually, you reach the forest playground and immediately afterwards the visitor center again. 

    Next time, I will walk the route the other way around. That way, you have the nicer and also quieter part through the deeper sand towards the end. Let's see if I like it even better then.

    Equipment

    Proper footwear, especially due to the changing ground (deeper sand, firmer soil, gravel...). 
    A rain jacket is of course advisable depending on the weather. 
    Since there are no dining options on the route itself, you should also bring some food and drinks.
