Staddijk Park, The Berendonck & Wichensche Ven (13km)

It’s summer and time for some serious Lake Appreciation. So this walk is going to take us round two beautiful lakes on the outskirts of Nijmegen..

We meet at the Wijkcentrum Dukenburg, then it's 5 minutes or so to get to Staddijk park. We’ll walk through this pretty urban park, under the A73 and shortly after onto the sandy beaches of the Berendonck. We will walk around one side of the lake and stop at De Eikenhorst Tea Garden for refreshments. Then we will walk around the Wichensche Ven, crossing over this lake and then returning round the other side of the Berendonck and then back into Park Staddijk towards our starting point.

This walk is very flat with mostly good quality paths, but as always, sturdy walking shoes are recommended. Remember to bring plenty of water and maybe some snacks, although we are stopping for refreshments roughly halfway.

These walks tend to become full and then people have to go on a waiting list. Please be considerate: if you sign up and your plans change, please change your RSVP to "No" so that someone else can take your place.
