On Saturdays I usually go out with my sister for a hike.
I am unsure whether the Dutch word is correctly translated. Our “bosbes” literally translates as forest berry. In Dutch a blue berry is different. Blue berries are more prevalent and cheaper. I assume huckleberry is a more appropriate for the trail. Obviously the mix-up is understandable.
It was part of our conversion on the path. The difference between the different berries. In Dutch we seem to have more berries, as even blackcurrant is “black berry” in Dutch and blackberry is our “braambes”. Comparable to the English bramble. Lost in translation is reality.
The path itself starts nearby a parking area. Unlike the walk-up the trail is (or should be) bike free. In wintertime or wet periods wellies are necessary or at least decent waterproof hiking boots. Some excessively flooded areas have improvised paths of small wooden poles. You can imagine this trail is often pretty quick. One side is heather, the other a long, straight avenue of American oak.
No pictures this time. (apologies) I promise it looks way more picturesque in fall and winter time.
