Despite the strong wind and rain, I had to get out. In the end, I intensely enjoyed the fresh air and end-of-year atmosphere. I got wet though :-)

Short but pleasant walk with great winter weather. The walk can easily be extended to Loenen aan de Vecht, for example. In the village there are a few nice restaurants
