2023 Annual report
The ProParte Walking Club celebrated its fifth anniversary in 2023. The walks are enthusiastically attended. It’s surprising how we can still come up with interesting new walks each year.
Highlights this year
The walk through the closed area of the Dunea dunes in Scheveningen, with a tour of the various technical areas for treating river water led by a Dunea employee, who also gave a fascinating explanation of the current problems with our drinking water.
A brisk walk through the damp meadows and marshy wetland forests of Wassergeest, Lisse, where we had to climb over some fences.
