Description by the author

Loop of 8 km through the Bloso domain Hofstade. If you do this loop twice, you have 10Mi on it (16km)
100% traffic-free, 85% in the forest.
Departure and arrival of the loop is near the entrance from Weerde (northwest side, on the side of the swimming pool / station of Hofstade). Look here for the opening hours of this access: https://www.routeyou.com/location/view/47513809/noordwestingang-blosodomein-hofstade-langs-station-met-openingsuren.nl . Parking for Zemstenaars at the pool opposite this entrance. If you come from far away, take the southern or eastern parking lot.

The loop starts at the top of the recreational pond and runs in a counter-hour direction, so with the recreational pond on your left. She passes the sailing facilities, the sports hotel, the skate facilities, the playground, the former outdoor swimming pool and the boat restaurant. Between the skate facilities and the playground you keep left against the recreational water. You have to go downhill briefly and uphill a little further (see that you do not slide down here). Just before the playground with terrace, take a right south towards the former outdoor swimming pool, where we go around in a counter-hour direction.
After the outdoor swimming pool you will come across a moat on the right side that you continue to follow on your right (past the boat restaurant war memorial and further the canal fountain). At this artificial fountain (see POI) you take the east side of the moat, and you keep it on your left. A little further on you do not go to the Sportimonium but keep the moat on your left, which takes you just before the workshop and the lending center of the domain (immediately after the Fit-o-Meter).
Take the new mountain bike path and continue through the eastern part of the domain. to its Northeast entrance.
There take the west direction again, after which a small detour is taken towards another northeast entrance, but finally via a southern and western path takes you to the easternmost pond at the bottom.
You immediately follow this northwards.
At the northernmost point of this pond you go another 100m and come across a second pond (rectangular now. DON'T MISS IT: after the first pond you will come across a narrow channel that goes back to the first pond: you keep it to the left). You follow that second pond on your right (first south, then turn left, continue to the canal that you follow on the left until the first bridge. View this bridge on the right over the canal and make your way to the north stair section of the protected bathhouse with Sportimonium.)
Take these stairs and walk over the roof of this monument (beautiful views), and once the stairs back down, immediately follow the bathhouse on the ground (concrete) floor on the right in the opposite direction.
Continue to follow this concrete road until past the paying zone and then immediately after the closure, take the northeast direction. You come back to the canal that follows you for 80m and then turn right to follow the first narrow pond on your left in a northerly direction (the second narrow pond you then have directly on your right).
At the northernmost point of the left-hand pond, keep following it until you reach a barbed wire fence. Take the right, direction railway verge. At that roadside, take a left towards the starting point.
You will come across a large pond on your left; Then the large recreational pond that you notice on a metal pedestrian bridge that lies in the depths against the waterfront. There you can stop the loop, or walk again.

The eastern part of the Bloso domain is not well mapped (hiking trails, mountain bike strips, narrow berry trails spice each other up and take jagged turns. Look at the POI in this eastern part, or immediately see this enlarged photo of the POI: https://image.routeyou.com/shrink/fit/1006x930/f7f48a846ddedeb8e0cfd8058263a1af_984cd131eec4c2667b120020e799850dda420025.jpg
