Name: ⛰️🥾 Montferland Summit Round: 25 km/ 400 m elevation

With the **Montferland Summit Round**, you’ll explore the most naturally varied and hilly part of the Achterhoek — a 25 km route with around 400 meters of elevation gain.

The Montferlandse Summit Round introduces you to one of the most varied and quietly beautiful landscapes of the Achterhoek. The Montferland ridge was formed around 200,000 years ago, when ice pushed the land upward into a series of gentle wooded hills known as *stuwwallen*. Because of this, the terrain here is not flat — the paths rise and fall naturally, giving the hike a relaxed rhythm of soft climbs and flowing descents.

What stands out here is the peace. Much of the walk leads through deep forest, along narrow footpaths where your companions are more likely to be hawks, woodpeckers, pine martens, roe deer, foxes, and sometimes even the tracks of the shy local badger. Between the woodland ridges, wide views open up across the patchwork fields of the Achterhoek — and on clear days, even toward the Veluwezoom and Germany.

**📍When and where to meet?**
