Graafschapspad part 6

Sixth part of the Graafschapspad
Doetinchem - Drempt

 What a beautiful walk. We had great weather and we strolled along lovely villages, old manor houses, through dense woodland and over farmland. We got a nice tan and some moskito bites. Better don't take your break in the woods, because these beasts suck you empty. There are enjoyable pubs/restaurants along the way. Try the 'Gouden Karper' in Hummelo or the 'Keldertje' in Doetinchem. The latter is not regularly open, so better check in advance.

There are vast stretches where you only hear the wind. Something you do not experience in a lot of parts of the Netherlands. In Hoog Keppel there is a very old chuchyard with beautiful trees. I like to read the insciption on the headstones. I always try to figure out who is whoses family and what happened back in time  (Great War & WOII). It makes me sad to read  the text of the tiny headstones of infants. It makes me realise how lucky we are with our modern knowledge of medicine and its' preventive measures. We highly recommend this section.
