The Ede – Otterlo Classic (22 km) 🍂✨

Set out on a memorable 22 km journey across the Ginkelse Heide as it shifts into a tapestry of golden grasses and warm autumn shades. Wander through forests where leaves crunch beneath your feet and the trees glow in hues of amber and rust.

Halfway through, treat yourself to a cozy break at Theeschenkerij Mossel Café, perfect for a warm drink, a refreshing beverage, or a hearty bite to recharge.

An unforgettable adventure awaits! 🍁 Ready to be swept away by the magic of fall? Lace up your boots, and let’s hike together! 🚶‍♀️🌾🍂

This is not a loop hike! We start in Ede–Wageningen and return by bus from Otterlo, where we can also enjoy a drink or snack for those who wish.

📍When and where to meet?
Ede-Wageningen Train Station in front of the Kiosk at 11h05

⏰ We start walking a few minutes after 11:05 — we don’t wait for latecomers, as the forest calls and daylight is short this time of year.

🚗 Coming by car?
There is usually plenty of parking around the station. But note: It’s always the drivers who are late 😉 So please arrive a bit early to avoid running after us.

⏸️ Planned Breaks
After 12 km: Break at Theeschenkerij Mossel Café where you can buy food and drinks
