The last legs of this long-distance path have been walked, and now the route is complete.
Continueing where we last ended – that is: close by – we walked from Zwolle, via Hasselt en Genemuiden to Zwartsluis – the last leg we did before in the prologue. We returned by bus – halting closeby. Next, the eleventh walk in the series lead from Zwartsluis, through the Wieden National Reserve, to “The Dutch Venice”: Giethoorn. Again, it was fairly easy to return by public transport.
The twelfth walk however would not have that advantage, so we decided to postpone it to a time when we could use our bikes to return – and did the thirteenth and last walk first, starting at Oldemarkt, just off route, to Steenwijk, the landing zone, and head back by bus once more. This walk was done in winter conditions, in the snow.
This spring, we did the postponed walk – parked our bikes in Oldemarkt, drove to Giethoorn by car, walked to Oldemarkt and drove 15 kilometers back – in sunny, though windy conditions.
So the last few walsk may look weird…..
