Kaasboerderij De Diervoort

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice farm shop with a lot of selection, but the old cheese here is really recommended, nice and soft, but still spicy in taste.

Hidden Pond in the Dutch Forest

Highlight • Lake

You quickly cycle past it and the hiking trail is a little further away, but it is a beautiful piece of wet nature.

Forest Steps at Hatertse en Overasseltse Vennen

Highlight • Trail

This varied area has lots of heathland and beautiful fens, but also wooded areas where there is sometimes quite a climb. Fortunately, the forest steps make this a bit easier.

July 19, 2024,Nijmeegse Vierdaagse 2024 - Dag 4 - Cuijk

Day 4, Cuijk's day.

This last walking day I didn't have to cycle, because Lena was there again! And I only had to walk thirty kilometers, as all distances had been shortened by ten kilometers, due to the expected warm weather. Not everyone will have appreciated that, walkers are sometimes stubborn people, and my first reaction was: "I think I'm …

So the last day is over.

It was super nice, exhausting and very emotional (from the spectators and mentally)
It was just great with the people. But I'm also glad to have fewer people around me now, walking with over 46,000 people is impressive, you're never alone on the route. Which is great on the one hand, but on the …

Unfortunately, the 4DAAGSE are already over and the round has been shortened by 10km because of the impending heat. This decision is simply accepted and not commented on. Because it was fun again, also because of everything else. The pictures are only a small part of what is going on. So let the injuries subside and review the last few …

July 19, 2024,🇳🇱De 4Daagse 2024 - Tag 4: Via Gladiola 🧡 (NL)

The heat announced for today prompted the organizer to shorten all routes by 10km. This decision was absolutely right, at least from my point of view. Already early in the morning the humidity was almost 100% and the temperatures rose steadily throughout the morning. 🥵
The atmosphere on the route was great again, the people gave everything again to motivate …
