Clog trails

Discover the Veluwe countryside along the Klompenpaden: walking routes across farmland, country estates and nature reserves. The 12-kilometre Beek- en Bultpad even passes through Park Berkenrhode. The route takes you past historic farmland, along unpaved paths and across the Wekeromse Bult, with views over the Gelderse Vallei. Wear sturdy footwear, as parts of the trail are unpaved and may become muddy. Dogs are not permitted on the Beek- en Bultpad, even when kept on a lead.
