De Bunt nature reserve is located on the south side of the Slampenhorst estate. The Bunt is a seepage area, so the arable land will regularly alternate with wet heathland and swamp.

August 27, 2023,Nijkerk - Rondje Appelsche Heide vanuit Driedorp.

Nice "slow trip". Very varied. Benches only after 10km and that's why we had a late lunch :-) . No cafe or restaurant and they would be closed here on Sunday anyway.

Route; Trage Tocht Driedorp.
Parking; along the road, in the verge.
Route; also parts of various clog paths.
Nice varied walk.
Also long straight sections. Komoot: "follow this road 2.8 kilometers".
And through Appel.

The nature reserves Slichtenhorst, Gerven and Appel are beautiful, but to connect them in one trip you sometimes have to walk on long, straight roads, with the first bend only a few kilometres away. I only started this trip at the beginning of the afternoon, which meant I had to complete the last muddy part when it was getting dark.
