Hiked part 5/20 of the Marskramer Path, 12.4 kilometres from Rijssen to Holten.

In this stage you climb from the Reggedal via the Ligtenbergerveld and the Zunasche Heide to the high moraines of the Sallandse Heuvelrug. Where land ice from Scandinavia pushed the ground up, you now walk on lonely roads over this hill. You will love the silence and tranquility here.
