Accessibility:
The routes avoid unpaved paths and are therefore suitable for most hikers. Please note that there are bridges along the route that may be less accessible for wheelchair users.
We start from Villa Randwijck, Catharina van Clevepark 10, 1181 AT Amstelveen. This is also the end point of the walk. Afterwards there is the possibility to have lunch here with a cup of soup for €2.50 (pay on location).

Four seasons walks program:
Join the Spring Walk on Sunday, March 15th. The walk starts and finishes at Amstelveen's Stadsplein. There are two distances: 5 km and 10 km. The walks will take you through Amstelveen's parks and natural surroundings as much as possible.
Walk along under the guidance of a walking coach from AV Startbaan and the neighbourhood sports coach from AmstelveenSport or walk the route independently with a route map. The Spring Walk coincides with the Spring Marathon, which also starts and finishes on the Stadsplein.
Sports walking is the ideal activity for anyone who wants to do something extra while walking.
During the walk we also use the exercise bench. During our walking sessions we use the exercise bench in Bovenkerk. Here you can do different exercises at your own pace and strength that contribute to your condition, strength and stability. This way you become physically stronger while enjoying a wonderful walk in the area.
The class every Thursday from the Noorddamcentrum. The class is from 13:00 to 14:00.
In addition to the walking activities and events, there are also many walking groups in Amstelveen.
AmstelveenSport sets up walking groups that then continue independently. click here for an overview of the walking groups of AmstelveenSport.
AV Startbaan also has various walking groups, where you can come for a trial walk the first time for free. click here for the AV Startbaan website.
In addition, there are residents who set up their own walking groups. For more information about this, please contact the Participe District Coach via: participe-amstelland.nu/wijkcoaches
