The actual hike said something like "fantastic".

Either for a wild boar or they meant in summer. But it wasn't a good time for a wild boar. There was a "hunt" going on nearby.

10 km and 6 of them in deep mud. I don't really mind. But that was too much.

🥾🥾..Today it was another really beautiful forest path through the green...💚..nature, the Littard State Forest near Schaphuysen...🙋🏻‍♀️🙋‍♂️

🥾🥾..A nature reserve worth seeing with plenty of forest and a lake-like river.
The lakes were created by peat extraction as they filled with water. Private moorings have been created along the lakes and provide a habitat for wild birds and animals.

Very nice hiking trails through a "jungle". However, a hike is only recommended if the weather is dry, otherwise the paths are churned up and muddy by the many horses.

Thanks to 🐐Zwei Bergziegen🐐 for the suggestion!

A word of advice... expect mud when it's wet and walking isn't as comfortable. A pram, wheelchair or walking aid is not appropriate on the round tour as it was.

Beautiful forest with sometimes adventurous paths. Sturdy and, above all, waterproof footwear is recommended as the paths are very muddy. We will definitely go there again

No Water.HikingWorld. loop today, although this tour could easily qualify as one.

@Carli72 🥾🌳🚲 and I opted for a shorter hike today; originally, it was just supposed to be a local loop in Krefeld. However, since experience has shown that the Hülser Bruch nature reserve is quite crowded on beautiful spring Sundays, we set off with the Blechwanze (our bike) …
