Hike & Pictures NL

Join us for a relaxed afternoon of photography and exploring Zaandam! 🌿🏙️ It's a last minute event, so we expect a small crowd. This event will continue when it rains a little, but not when it's heavily raining.

We’ll meet at Zaandam Station and from there wander through the city, capturing its unique mix of modern architecture, nature and canals. Note: we won't go to Zaanse schans, because that area is packed around this time. We can save that area for a hike that starts in the morning

🗓️ Date: Sunday, 28 September
🕒 Time: 15:00 (walk will take about 2–2.5 hours)
📍 Meeting point: Zaandam Station. You can make the walk circular , but there are enough busses in the city that can take you back or to Amsterdam.

This is a casual and social photowalk. Come with an open mind to practice your photography, meet other creatives, and enjoy a Sunday outdoors. All levels and all cameras (yes, even smartphones!) are welcome. We could also go for dinner if the interest is there. Feel free to join without a camera, as well, but keep in mind that we are with photographers so might stop a lot.

*This event is postponed to a new date because the bad weather! Please change your RSVP.

We're back!

Join us for a casual city photowalk for photographers, models, and explorers looking to connect in a relaxed, social setting. Whether you're into street photography, portraits, or just want to explore Amsterdam with a creative crew (and get some great photos), this is for you!
Bring your camera or phone, a comfy outfit, and an open mind. This isn’t your typical city tour, it’s a walk designed to capture portraits and moments as we explore parks, watersides, and urban spots! Keep this in mind when joining to avoid disappointment. We are going to stop a lot.

Route will be confirmed later, but it probably will be in the North of east area. We're meeting at central station regardless.

Put yourself on the waiting list because will manually put people on going to make sure there is a balance between photographers and non-photographers

Exact route will be confirmed closer to date, because I make the routes myself!🥾

🍂 Autumn Forest Walk – 20km Circular Hike
📅 Date: Saturday, 18 October
🕘 Time: 09:00 (meeting at Halfweg-Zwanenburg station)
📍 Start/End: Halfweg-Zwanenburg Station (circular route)
🚶 Distance: around 20 km

Join us for a refreshing autumn walk through some of the most beautiful forested areas near Amsterdam. This hike is perfect for forest lovers and anyone who wants to soak in the orange, golden, and red colours of the season.

Our route will take us from Halfweg through the Lange Bretten green corridor and into the Geuzenbos, before looping back to Halfweg-Zwanenburg station. Expect peaceful paths, rich autumn colours, canals and plenty of nature along the way.

👉 Practical details:

• Bring comfortable walking shoes, umbrella, rain jacket, water, and snacks.
• We’ll take short breaks along the way.
• Bring your own lunch , because we are likely to have the break in nature.

Come enjoy the crisp autumn air, capture the beautiful colours, and connect with others who love long forest walks. 🍁

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