Hike & Pictures NL

Need a midweek reset? Join us this Wednesday for an easygoing evening hike from 19:00 to 21:00.

This event has limit space, so we open RSVP one week before to be sure people signing up are coming. However, you can favourite this event to get a notification.

We’ll take a short trail together to move, connect, and recharge near the lake. Perfect if you’ve had a long day and want to end it outdoors with good company. We try to limit the group to make the hike a little more personal.

Come solo or bring a (furry) friend: everyone’s welcome.
Optional drinks after if the group’s up for it!
Let’s make Wednesdays feel like weekends. 🥾🚶🏾‍♀️

What does the event look like?
We meet up at the metro station Postjesweg where we start with a quick introduction to get to know the people you'll be stuck with for the upcoming two hours. It's optional to set your phone to plane mode to fully focus on the hike.

Afterwards we go for a nice hike with lakes and nature to rewind. At the middle of the hike is time for a rewind moment: we're gonna take a few minutes to just take a deep breath and listen to nature. This is also the moment to open up: if you are struggling or need to share a thought feel free to throw it in the group and ask for advice or just a listening ear. After this round, we leave all the negative thoughts behind in the forest and continue our hike back to the metro station.

Join us for a scenic hike through the North Holland countryside, starting from Heiloo Station and ending at Alkmaar Station. Along the way, we’ll walk through peaceful nature areas, spot traditional windmills, and take in the charm of the classic Dutch landscape.

Whether you're here to stretch your legs, take photos, or meet new people, this is a relaxed and welcoming hike open to all levels. Dogs are welcome too!

Reminder: Hike means long walk. The walk is going to take long (15-17km), but we will have enough breaks to take pictures and eat.

If you get too tired, you can decide to take the bus from Bergen (12km) to Alkmaar Station or finish the hike with us to Alkmaar Station (17km)
