Boardwalk Trail in Dwingelderveld National Park

Highlight • Trail

The boardwalks on this route are where the route gets its name from. Lovely playful walk on the plank paths over the water.

The Boslounge Visitor Center

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice starting point for a nice walk in this National Park. Easy to reach from the highway. However, the forest lounge is not always open. Look carefully in advance!

July 26, 2025, Stukje vlonderpad vanuit Spier– Nationaal Park Dwingelderveld

Another bike ride to Spier on the edge of Dwingelderveld National Park. From there, I enjoyed a very beautiful and varied walk with plenty of variety. Unfortunately, the last section was almost a straight line back to the bikes due to my partner's back problems.

Large detours had to be made due to fallen trees.

Another beautiful day with a beautiful walk. It may rain once (preferably at night 😀) because it is bone dry in nature. The first kilometers with the boardwalks are not recommended on Sunday afternoon for those who like peace. After the boardwalks we went on the quiet paths with beautiful single tracks😍
