Rondje Oranjewoud | Koningspad XL Hiking Trail Network: Section 13

(9.1 km)

The last section of the Koningspad XL Hiking Trail Network explores the history of the Olterterp country estate through a sculpture trail. Today the Olterterp country estate is inhabited by a group of colourful characters from Frisian myths and legends. Some of them actually existed, others are figments of the imagination. Stories about these characters are collected in the book, Als Bomen Konden Spreken [If Trees Could Speak], which is available in Dutch and Frisian.

The 14 sections of the Koningspad XL Hiking Trail Network take you past the highlights of the Koningsdiep stream valley. A journey through meadows, heaths and the open landscape of Friesland.

To find out more about this section of the network, take a look at the detailed description of the route with photos and videos.
