12 Tops in a Low Land


The Netherland is a flat country protected against the North Sea by sand dunes. The hills in other places are moraines formed in the ice ages.


I came accross a hiking guide that describes the highest point in each of the 12 provences in the country and today I climbed the first one with my sister.

Scheveningen to Kijkduin

and de Uithof


The first hike I organized as a

Consul of the InterNations

"The Hague Outdoor Group".

From Scheveningen harbour we walked through the Westduinpark to Kijkduin and on via Ockenburg estate to De Uithof tram station.

Vlaggeduin Katwijk


The highest point in the province of South Holland is the Vlaggeduin near Katwijk.

I made a hike with mysister from the village Town Hall to the sea side where we had lunch and on to the sand dunes where we climbed the Vlaggeduin before getting back to the Town Hall.

LAW 3 - Marskramerpad track 8


With my siter I did another track of the long distance hiking trail Marskramerpad that runs east from The Hague to the German town Bad Bentheim.

Track 8 was from Klarenbeek to Deventer where we crossed the river IJssel by ferry.

Again as before we had great weather for the time of the year!

Hike to Voorburg and back


This weekend the weather forecasts were poredicting lots of wind and rain so when I woke up with sunshine on Saturday morning I took advantage by taking a walk around the suburb of Voorburg.

Being a member of InterNations


Since many years I have been a member of the InterNations, a group that in many cities around the world brings expats together.

I am a member of the Outdoor Group in The Hague and organised my first hiking tour for that group from Wassenaar to the Meijendel dunes and on to The Hague central station.

Hike from Delft to Rotterdam


On a beatifull sunny Sunday I decided to enjoy the weather with a hike starting in

Delft by getting out of the train in the renewed underground trainstation.

                          The hike gave me a nice

                          mixture of city-, country-,

                          vilage- and nature areas

                          and a great feeling to be

                          outside                                                    

Hoefbladlaan to Kurhaus


After an early morning visit to my dentist in the western part of the city I walked through the sand dunes and over the beach to Scheveningen Harbour. From there I walked to the sea side boulevard and from the Kurhaus station took a mini rail back home .

LAW 3 - Marskramerpad track 7


The day after the hike from Delft to Rotterdam I took the train east to Deventer and a bus to Lettele for track 7 of the Marskramerpad.

A nice hike through the Salland region in the provence of Overijssel.

LAW 3 - Marskramerpad track 6


With my sister I again walked a track of the Marsramerpad from Lettele to Holten.

After 2 hours travel with public transport we planned to start with a lunch in Lettele but the only restautant there was closed.

As there were no restaurants on the trail we ended up hiking the whole trail before we reached the end where we had an early dinner before going back home

                   Another hike with a group of

                   foreigners living in and around

                   The Hague.

We took the metro to Pijnacker Centrum station from where we walked around the Dobbeplas and back again. We also visited the corn mill Windlust.
