Our hike from last Sunday went through the Balloërveld, a nature area in the province of Drenthe with heather fields and shifting-sand.
It's a popular area for hiking and also for cyclists who ride an ATB. I read on Wikipedia that in the 20th century the Dutch Defense Ministry managed the area for a period of time and used it for army trainings.
Have to have some pretty thick bicycle tires to manage that terrain.
BeantwoordenVerwijderen...Big sky country.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenEn ik was de sukkel die er doorheen moest kruipen in 1966. Nou dan bekijk je de natuur toch op een heel andere wijze.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenJa je kan het beter als natuur beleven nu.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYour sky in the first shot looks just like my sky Marleen, so beautifully blue, my temperature was 29C what was yours? I can see how this terrain would be perfect for army training!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNo 29C here, Grace. How we wish :)
VerwijderenIt was around 14C.
Love that blue, blue sky! I doubt that anything but very sturdy mountain bikes would be able to traverse this terrain!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt's a very different landscape than one expects from that part of the world.

Now that's a blue sky, Maleen. I love the landscape, it's so different from ours.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe sky looks so blue, a little like ours is today. Lovely area for a hike!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe landscape looks like a similar one I walked last year in Spain, and I fell in love.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSigh, heather is what I miss here in California! Just has a special atmosphere!
