September 28, 2024,Voetstappenpad rondom Hilversum vanuit Hollandsche Rading

Today was a wonderful day with a mix of laughing and crying moments, where I immediately notice that I also enjoyed the wet crying moments just as much, it was a nice varied mix and fortunately the showers didn't last very long. I had never walked this tour before, although I had seen a lot in fragments on other walks …

Today we were in the throws.
Started from Hilversum to walk the 25 km footpath.

The route itself is very easy to follow through the well-known concrete posts with feet and in various places via the red arrows and stickers and or a sign with a 🦶..

I think it's recommended.

Went on the road a little in time to make the circular walk over the immense heathlands around Hilversum. This time counterclockwise.

The heather is starting to bloom nicely. Photos may give an impression, but you have to see it with your own eyes.

After walking the footsteps path at the beginning of June, I decided to walk the same route again during the period when the moors would be in bloom.

Today was the day .... a better temperature (21 degrees compared to 28 degrees at the beginning of June) and enough heather in bloom.

There is a nice varied walk. The heath is very beautiful in bloom. A few boring parts unfortunately but all in all enjoyed it very much. And the photo where the maximum speed can be seen 🫣 probably a mistake by Garmin, I really don't run that fast 🤣

It was beautiful, the forest and heathland in the snow. A bit slippery every now and then and cold.
