5 km run through the Blosodomain Hofstade.
100% traffic-free, 75% in the forest.
The starting and ending point of the loop is near the entrance of Weerde (northwest side, on the side of the Hofstade swimming pool/train station). Here you can check the opening hours of this access: https://www.routeyou.com/location/view/47513809/noordwestingang-blosodomein-hofstade-langs-station-met-openingsuren.nl. Parking options for Zemstenaars are at the swimming pool opposite this entrance. If you come from afar, take the southern or eastern parking lot.
The loop starts at the top of the recreational water and goes counterclockwise, with the recreational water on your left side. It passes by the sailing facilities, the sports hotel, the skating facilities, the playground, and the boat restaurant. Between the skating facilities and the playground, keep left by the recreational water. You need to go briefly downhill and then a little further uphill (be careful not to slip here).
After the boat restaurant, you will encounter a ditch on your right side. Follow this on the right side (avoiding the beach water on the left - now charged for non-Zemstenaars). At the art fountain in the ditch (see POI), take the east side of the ditch and keep it on your left side. Further ahead, don't go to the Sportimonium, but leave the ditch on your left side and pass by the workshop and storage of the area.
Behind these buildings, you will notice a pond on the right. Keep this pond on your left.
At the northernmost point of this pond, do not follow the curve of the pond but leave it on a path heading northwest.
100 m further, you will encounter a second pond (now rectangular. DO NOT MISS: after the first pond, you will come across a narrow canal that leads back to the first pond: keep this on your left). Follow this second pond on your right side (first south, then back north over a curve).
At the northernmost point of this pond, continue following it until you reach a barbed wire fence. Turn right here, towards the embankment. At this embankment, turn left towards the starting point.
On your left side, you will encounter a large pond; after that, you will first see the large recreational lake, which you will notice at a metal footbridge that lies deep at the shore. There you can finish the loop or run it again.
The 5 km jogging loop marked on the boards at the Sportimonium and by 200 m posts seems much shorter than 5 km to me.
