About the surroundings of Ommen
The Veluwe, in the Ommen region and along the Overijsselse Vecht, offers a breathtaking location for a trail run. This area, rich in natural diversity, combines the vast forests of the Veluwe with the picturesque river landscapes along the Vecht, creating a unique running experience. Participants in the trail run can enjoy the serene forests, which offer a sense of peace and unity with nature, while the paths along the Vecht provide beautiful views and a refreshing breeze.
The course is both challenging and inspiring, with varied terrain, from soft woodland to sandy paths and pebbled riverbanks. The natural hills of the Veluwe offer physical challenges with steep climbs and descents, while the open fields and riverbanks allow for moments of rapid progress.
Trail runners in the Ommen region and along the Overijsselse Vecht can expect to be completely absorbed in the landscape, with every kilometre revealing new natural wonders. This trail run is not just a physical feat, but also a deep dive into the beauty of one of the Netherlands' most beloved nature reserves, with the harmony between forest and water taking centre stage.
