PP Etappe 10

During this trip you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. Between Ommen and Hellendoorn you will find the Lemelerberg nature reserve and the most northern part of De Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park. Walk through these beautiful areas and admire all the natural beauty.
Climb the Lemelerberg
The train station of Ommen is the starting point of this walk. Drop your car at the end point of this route and then travel to Ommen by train or park your car here and hit the road. Along the way you walk across heaths, through forest areas and along drifting sand areas on the Lemelerberg nature reserve. From the higher parts of this area you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view. Then you can take a look at the village of Lemele, at the foot of the Lemelerberg. This village is named after the loam that used to be found around the Lemelerberg. From Lemele you walk further to Hellendoorn.
De Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park
Before you enter Hellendoorn, you walk along the edge of the National Park De Sallandse Heuvelrug. This park is one of the largest contiguous nature reserves in Overijssel. Meander here over the seemingly endless heaths and through the woods and enjoy the view. The end point of the route is in the middle of Hellendoorn.
