Marskramer Path part 03

2026-05-02 17:00

Hiked part 3/20 of the Marskramer Path, 17.4 kilometres from Borne to Delden.

You walk past the Carmelite monastery in Zenderen, where life behind the monastery walls still consists of simplicity and prayer. You cross even more streams: Azelerbeek and Twickeler Vaart. Landlord Carel had the canal dug for trade and industry. Now it forms a ribbon through the beautiful beech forest.
