An interesting route, but very dirty and even impassable in places. The problem is that after point 9, you end up in a huge field near the market gardens and you don’t know where to go. We had to get back onto the roads for safety’s sake.

After waypoint 9 (in the direction indicated by the hike), do not turn left as indicated on the trail, as this is a farm closed by a gate. Instead, take the next path on the left to go around it. This adds about 1 km to the route, but there are no difficulties.
Enjoy your hike.
Best regards, hikers
