          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/marskramer-path-part-07/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 7&#x2F;20 of the Marskramer Path, 18.9 kilometres from Lettele to Deventer.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The area between Lettele and the Hanseatic city of Deventer is a small-scale varied landscape with meadows, forest and heath. After this you walk to Deventer aan de IJssel, one of the most beautiful rivers in the Netherlands. Finally, after the medieval streets and alleys, you will enjoy the Deventer Koek.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

You might even hear a black-tailed godwit or a skylark singing by the Reeuwijkse Plassen in this bird-rich landscape.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From the Holterberg you descend to a more open area to Espelo, popularly called Splo. There are about 150 scattered farms where the residents have close ties. Together they hold (world) records such as making the largest Easter fire, throwing pitchforks and making a snowman; unique in the Netherlands.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/marskramer-path-part-05/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 5&#x2F;20 of the Marskramer Path, 12.4 kilometres from Rijssen to Holten.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;

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.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You walk through the stream valley of the Boven- and Midden-Regge. The word regge means &#x27;he who carries water&#x27; and impassable swamps once formed the landscape here. The river is given new opportunities and its natural course is restored: from open sewer to ecological connection zone.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/pelgrims-path-part-03/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 3&#x2F;27 of the Pelgrims Path, 17.6 kilometres from De Kwakel to Aarlanderveen.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

Along the towpath of the small river, silence reigns, and only meadow birds and swans look at you questioningly. In the distance, you can see the church towers of Nieuwveen.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/veluwe-wander-trail-part-25/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 25&#x2F;25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 20.2 kilometres from Hoenderloo to Schaarsbergen.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The final stage of the Veluwe Wander Trail led from Hoenderloo through the heath and pine woods of De Hoge Veluwe National Park, past the hunting lodge Sint Hubertus and on to Schaarsbergen. Along the way I saw red deer grazing under the trees and a sand lizard resting in the grass. The walk ended on a long brick avenue lined with lime trees, closing a journey of 25 stages across the Veluwe.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/veluwe-wander-trail-part-23/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 23&#x2F;25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 19.0 kilometres from Schaarsbergen to Otterlo.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A long walk through the Hoge Veluwe National Park, with woods at the start and end and wide open heath in the middle. I saw deer in the heather and a Mouflon grazing on its own. The trail finished in Otterlo, where a small memorial honours the Canadian troops who freed the village in 1945.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/veluwe-wander-trail-part-22/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 22&#x2F;25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 17.7 kilometres from Hoog Soeren to Garderen.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Left Hoog Soeren past thatched farms and a small chapel, then crossed the golf course into beech and pine woods. The route opened onto wide heathland with sandy tracks and scattered pines, before passing a farmhouse with goats and a Christmas tree nursery. Reached Garderen by the old windmill and church, with the streets still dressed in orange bunting for King&#x27;s Day.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/veluwe-wander-trail-part-21/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 21&#x2F;25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 11.2 kilometres from Elspeet to Echoput.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Left Elspeet along a quiet lane and walked past an old brick farmhouse dated 1788. The route then went through the Gortelsche Bos, with beech and pine woods, sandy heath clearings and bright green larch rides. The stage ended at Echoput under tall beech trees along the cycle path.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/veluwe-wander-trail-part-20/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 20&#x2F;25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 11.8 kilometres from Garderen to Elspeet.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Walked from Garderen past the Canadian war memorial and out onto the open heath of the Elspeterheide. The sky was grey at first but cleared later, and the path crossed a small stream, ran past farmhouses and cherry blossom trees, and passed a Dutch windmill. The stage finished on the village square in Elspeet.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/veluwe-wander-trail-part-19/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 19&#x2F;25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 13.5 kilometres from Rozendaal to Arnhem.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Left Castle Rosendael behind and threaded through beech woods in full spring green before opening onto the heaths and pine forests of De Beekhuizen and Schaarsbergen. A graffiti-covered tunnel ducked under the A12 motorway, then the trail wound past a war memorial and a small brick chapel on its way into Arnhem. The final kilometres drifted through Sonsbeek Park, ponds, a waterfall, a fountain, egrets and Egyptian geese, before finishing beneath the curved roof of Arnhem Centraal.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/veluwe-wander-trail-part-18/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 18&#x2F;25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 13.6 kilometres from Rheden to Rozendaal.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From Rheden the trail climbs into the Veluwezoom National Park and crosses the rolling heath of the Posbank, with wide panoramas over heather, drifting dunes and scattered pines. After traversing the open grasslands and small heath ponds of the Rozendaalse Veld, it drops through quiet pine and beech forests to finish beside the ponds and outbuildings of Castle Rosendael.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/veluwe-wander-trail-part-16/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 16&#x2F;25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 19.6 kilometres from Loenen to Dieren.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This stage leaves Loenen and crosses quiet pine woods and the open heathland of the Eerbeekse Veld and Terletse Heide, before descending through the mature beech forests on the northern flank of Nationaal Park Veluwezoom. Past the village of Spankeren the trail drops out of the Veluwe hills and follows field paths across the IJssel valley into Dieren.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/veluwe-wander-trail-part-14/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 14&#x2F;25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 17.8 kilometres from Kootwijk to Hoenderloo.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This stage takes you through the heart of the Veluwe, straight through beautiful heathlands and sand drifts such as the Hoog Buurlosche Heide and the Kootwijkerzand. Here on February 28, 1928, the legendary words &#x27;Hello Bandung, hello Bandung, can you hear me?&#x27; were heard.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/veluwe-wander-trail-part-13/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 13&#x2F;25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 15.9 kilometres from Hoog Soeren to Kootwijk.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You walk on wide paths through gently sloping forests and along the Asselsche Heide. It is part of the Crown Domains, in the past intended for hunting and forestry. Then you pass the often silent, reflective lake in the Kootwijkerveen. It is located about 40 m above sea level and looks mysterious.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/veluwe-wander-trail-part-12/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 12&#x2F;25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 17.8 kilometres from Vaassen to Hoog Soeren.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Vaassen, the centuries-old Cannenburgh castle boasts avenues and a stately park forest. You walk along streams that power water mills and further on you walk through extensive forests, the oldest in the Netherlands. The writing marks of the wild boars can be seen along the unpaved roads.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/veluwe-wander-trail-part-11/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 11&#x2F;25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 16.2 kilometres from Vierhouten to Vaassen.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From Vierhouten the trail leads through pine and spruce forest onto the wide open heathland, dotted with solitary Scots pines under dramatic skies. After crossing a second stretch of heath, the route passes thatched-roof farms and a historic schoolhouse before entering green farmland with tree-lined lanes and grazing cattle. The final section follows a canal past herons and geese to Kasteel Cannenburch, a stately moated castle, before ending in the village of Vaassen.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://peterspath.net/blog/veluwe-wander-trail-part-10/">&lt;p&gt;Hiked part 10&#x2F;25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 7.7 kilometres from Elspeet to Vierhouten.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From Elspeet you walk past thatched-roof farms and green pastures before entering the vast Elspeetsche Heide, one of the largest heathlands on the Veluwe. Sandy trails wind through the open landscape of heather, dried grasses, and solitary pines and birches, with sweeping views in every direction. After crossing the undulating heath, the route leads through forest to the quiet village of Vierhouten.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On this route you will pass four significant heathlands, Groevenbeekse Heide, Ermelose Heide, Westeindsche Heide and Elspeetsche Heide, where the atmosphere of the large silent heath with vistas and dreary desolation prevails, sometimes with a fantastic view over the Veluwe massif.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
