Outdoors in Utrecht

Hi everyone! For those who want to enjoy nature, trips/excursions, and generally a more outdoors setting, let’s get together for a hiking excursion! The plan is to meet at Utrecht Central (and/or a train station that is closest to our hiking area), and then we begin our hiking route.
For first-timers (or as a helpful reminder 😉), I recommend that you wear a comfy outfit & shoes and bring water & a snack or two. At some point during the excursion, we can do a break in between to rest and eat/drink for a while.

Depending on the time & weather, and whether people are up for it, there’s always the possibility of follow-up drinks later that day.

More info about the route/location:
https://www.ns.nl/dagje-uit/wandelen/noord-hollands-duinreservaat.html
Short info from the route's site; the route is 15 km in total and ends in Egmond aan Zee (a beautiful coastal village). From there, you can take a bus to Alkmaar, and then connect to the train network. For pet owners, dogs are allowed but on a leash
Note! This time, the dune reserve has a 2 euro entrance (can be paid online). I'll pay it, and then we tikkie later

More tips on finding the group along with helpful contact info with the host will follow in the comments the day before the meetup.

To those interested, hope to see you there! 😄

In case of bad (NL) weather, the event might be moved to another day.

Alas, summer is reaching its end for this year. Let's get together for a final summer-worthy time together in the serene Zandvoort beach area and say goodbye to the summer ☀

The plan is to meet at Utrecht Central (and/or at the destination place) and then settle on the coastline of Egmond aan Zee

About the route, we'll meet at Utrecht train station and head to Egmond aan Zee taking an intercity to Alkmaar & then a bus to Egmond aan Zee

More details about our activities will follow along with tips on finding the group, and helpful contact info of the host!

In case of bad (NL) weather, the event might be moved to another day (we'll pretend summer lasts until September)

Hope to see you there! 😊

Short info from the route's site; the full route is 18 km long (no shortcuts this time, but we'll see having a proper leg rest stop if we need it)
When we reach the end of the route (Wageningen) it's a bus to Ede-Wageningen or (alternatively) a bus straight to Utrecht. For pet owners, dogs are allowed in most parts of the route
