Wirklich eine außergewöhnliche Landschaft, reizvoll die Umrundung mit dem kleinen Abstecher in die nette Villengegend. Einziges- und völlig unverständliches-Manko sind die unzähligen Hinterlassenschaften der Hunde. Es gibt Kotbeutel und Behälter zum Entsorgen und trotzdem muss man bei jedem Schritt die Tretminen im Blick behalten. Ansonsten wären es 5 Sterne.

Vrijwel de gehele route (door weilanden en langs de Eem) gaat over onverharde paden waar zelfs geen fietser mag komen, met recht een Klompenpad!

Een leuke afwisselende wandeling door het bos, langs een bosvijver, maar het mooiste stukje vond ik toch wel de Korte duinen.
