March 7, 2026,Hoksent-Molhem - Paarse wandelroute

A beautiful, peaceful, and well-marked walking trail. It's just a shame you'll hardly find any benches (for picnics). You won't find a brasserie either.

Made an appointment with a friend to have a nice chat. Around the 10th km we had a nice croqueske in the brasserie "De 3 zaantjes" where the route passes 😋 🥰

Very nice walk but the route does contain a number of muddy parts where creativity is sometimes required 😅

it was again slogging and trying to step into the least deep mud, wet feet guaranteed, but still enjoying this beautiful piece of wet nature and surroundings

Natuurreservaat Ortolaan is truly a beautiful area with lots of water and greenery even now😍
In winter you will probably need boots to walk here 😅
Nice route, only a shame that there was 1 kilometer of paved road and cycle path twice. Unfortunately, you can't avoid it 😔

May 2, 2025,Heerlijke wandeling met oud collega's in de Dommel vallei

It was again a wonderful walk together with ex colleagues through the beautiful Dommel valley from the Belgian side (Kleine Brogel). Here and there still wet parts but perfectly doable
