Recreation area 't Twiske is a nature reserve just north of Amsterdam. In addition to walking, you can also go boating and canoeing. If you are lucky you will see Scottish Highlanders, or perhaps a fox or an ermine.

April 20, 2024,'t Twiske – Rode paaltjes route-vanuit Den Ilp.

Today we went for a walk in the twiske (which means between) the area between Landsmeer and oostzaan.

Not being able to follow the route everywhere because of the mud.

Had a few good walks outside, but also sun and Scottish highlanders.

Started at the Anton Heyboer museum/gallery 🤩🤫

Nice walk through 't Twiske. Nice and quiet on Monday. I had made a mistake with the appointment of the starting point, so we walked more than 2 km extra to the real starting point. The wish was probably the father of the thought here, because the agreed meeting point was within walking distance of the Metro, but the real …

An eye-catcher is the Twiskemolen, a polder mill that ensures the …

...a week in Amsterdam, it also needs some peace and nature!
Although a week in the city is necessary. There is so much to discover that it is hard to go without a day. 😉 But since we had our accommodation (Flora's B&B - 👌🏻RECOMMENDATION goes out there!) in the north of A'Dam, this tour was practically "on the doorstep". …

What a beautiful area it is. Last year I walked this route alone, now with nice company :-) Due to the breeding season, we had to make a small adjustment to the route after 1 km. Beautiful walking weather with beautiful cloudy skies. Largely paved, so no problems with wet feet on this route.
