May 18, 2023,Pieterpad: Prolog

And (again 🤪) a new hiking project: the Pieterpad. First four days, extended weekend stop. Arrived yesterday and spent the night in cute Pieterburen on the equally cute campsite. Before things really got going today, the prologue was on the agenda as a warm-up. Can be done, does not have to be. There are sheep to see and a view …

Fog, thick fog and therefore saw little. The silence on the other hand was wonderful. Cold day, around -2. All in all a good time on my 1st Pieterpad adventure.

The great adventure started today with the prologue of the Pieterpad. The first 10 km are over. It turned out to be an evening walk, which on second thought turned out to be a good idea due to the heat. Tomorrow I will really start, encouraged by my walking companions today, @Reidc

October 10, 2021,🇳🇱 Pieterpad LAW 9.1 - Proloog

If you have the time, you can take a circular walk from Pieterburen to the Wadden coast.

You can consider this walk as a warm-up, a prologue. The route is not part of the Pieterpad itself, and is only included in the guide as a suggestion. So the route is not described in the guide or marked in the field. …

This is a prologue (or epilogue) to the Pieterpad. Lovely walk with a strong wind and beautiful views

There's nothing like Groningen... that's clear from the views. Arrived in Pieterburen today. The prologue should be the warm-up of the Pieterpad but for now a lot of rain here, on to the sunny south then 😄

Tomorrow our Pieterpad adventure starts. Today we drove to the P + R in Winsum. After a short tour through Winsum and a bite to eat, we had the (last) bus to Pieterburen (at 6:15 PM). The bus stopped right in front of the Village Hall, where we will spend the night. After checking in we ran the prologue... they …

I walked this prologue of the Pieterpad today and unfortunately found out that the part 'along the sea' is forbidden for dogs. I had to walk back a long way. Bummer! Nice round further! Walked with another app, but I think the route is the same.
