PP Etappe 9

Have a nice walk with the Vecht by your side. This is possible with this route that takes you on the ninth stage of the Pieterpad. You walk straight through the Vechtdal from Hardenberg to Ommen and on the way you can enjoy the peace and space in nature. That is really relaxing!
The green village of Rheeze
The center of Hardenberg is the starting point of this route. From here you walk along the banks of the Vecht to Rheeze. You walk through brook forests, lush forests full of juniper bushes and over river dunes. Rheeze is a historic village green that has existed since the Middle Ages. On the well-preserved brink you will find ancient farms that take you back to days long gone. In short, there is plenty to see in Rheeze. It is not without reason that the village has a protected village view.
On the way to Ommen
Then you walk through the woods in the direction of Junne. The trees in the forest around Junne were cut down until the end of the 1960s as mining wood for the mines in Limburg. Eventually you will end up at the edge of Ommen. This city originated on the edge of the Vecht in a place where the river was fordable.
The Pieterpad
This route is part of the Pieterpad, the most famous long-distance walking route in the Netherlands. The entire route covers 26 stages that run from the Wadden coast of Groningen to the Sint-Pietersberg in South Limburg. Follow the different stages through the eastern Netherlands or choose one of the stages and explore part of the route. The choice is yours!
