Blotevoetenpad Opende

Muddy barefoot adventure

Is it an obstacle course? A hiking trail? Both? Two things we know for sure: your shoes and socks will come off and you won't stay clean. Along the way, you climb over tree trunks and crawl along a rope across the ditch. Messy fun in nature for young and old.

Blubber between your toes

Hopefully your sense of balance is fine, because you will need it during the Barefoot Trail. Grass tickles the soles of your feet and mud crawls between your toes. If it has rained, there is even more mud. At many places along the route, there are obstacles to make the adventure just that little bit more exciting. Even if you do not plan to fall into the ditch, it is smart to bring some extra clothes.

Go for short or long

The Blotevoetenpad near Opende is open all year round and freely accessible. The short one-and-a-half-kilometre route is also suitable for small children. It takes you past most of the play equipment and obstacles. Bikkels opt for the long version of over three kilometres. In both cases, you start and end at a tea garden. With mud up to your ears, you've also earned some treats.
