Continuation of Rondje Amsterdamse Bos - Part 1 where I accidentally shut down Komoot after the first 2 km from the parking lot (B) to Bloesempark (A) :-). In total, a circular walk of 21 km. On the last stretch, the A9 crossing was not possible according to the original planning, due to the road works there. From there we …

Only that fisherman (photo), that didn't bother me....☺ I had …
