Dieren → Rheden
This NS-walk is highly recommended. First, you walk through the hilly Onzalige Bosschen, which once belonged to the hunting domain of the Princes of Orange. On this part of the route, you'll have to climb and descend quite a bit. Afterwards, you'll discover the impressive heathland near the Posbank and the Zijpenberg.
