Join the Arctic Adventure Winter Walk

On Sunday, January 25, 2026, we’ll take a beautiful hike through one of the most stunning nature reserves in the central Netherlands.

Approximately 15 km of natural beauty.

Whether you walk together or individually, this will be a fun day to look forward to!
