The marsh area of the Lende Valley

For this 9.4-kilometer walk, it is advisable to wear sturdy footwear. It can be swampy in the area that has transformed from farmland to marshland with reed fields, wet woodlands of black alder and willow, and flower-rich grasslands.

Enjoy the special flora and fauna in the marsh area of the Lende Valley during this route.
