Join us for a peaceful and scenic hike through the beautiful Ankeveense Plassen: a nature-rich route with water views, open skies, and dutch villages. Dogs are allowed.

📍 Meeting Point:

• Option 1: Meet us at Bussum Zuid Station at 10:15 AM
• Option 2: Travel together from Amsterdam Central Station, 9:41 AM train from platform 10b

MAKE SURE TO BE IN THE WHATSAPP GROUP. The link is at the bottom of this description.

🗺️ The Route:
We’ll hike from Bussum Zuid to Weesp, passing through the stunning landscapes of the Ankeveense Plassen. The route is flexible:

• Hike 10 km, then take the bus to Weesp station
• Or challenge yourself with the full 20 km all the way to Weesp on foot

Make sure to bring food and drinks, because I'm not sure if there will be restaurants/supermarkets. Majority of the hike is in nature.

Reminder: Hike means long walk. The walk is going to take long, but we will have enough breaks to take pictures and eat.

• What to bring:
• Water and snacks
• A camera (or phone camera) if you’d like to take photos
• Comfortable walking shoes, preferably boots because the paths can be muddy and through grass/sand.
• Sun protection
• A good mood! 😊

Other info:

• this event depends on the weather. If the weather isn't good enough , we have to cancel it. The ground gets muddy with rain.

Let’s explore, create, and connect! We can’t wait to meet you!
