Raerd - Akkrum | Koningspad XL Hiking Trail Network: Section 7
From the village of Raerd you walk along the Mûzel, the final stretch of the De Boarn river. You return to Jirnsum via Friens. The route departs from the river briefly to lead you through the village of Grou, which is a popular water sports destination. Here there are delightful little cafes – the perfect place to stop halfway along the route. From Grou you continue to the village of Akkrum. Along the way you pass a challenging section of the De Boarn river known as the Rak van Ongemak or ‘passage of trouble’ because it was so difficult to navigate.
The 14 sections of the Koningspad XL Hiking Trail Network take you past the highlights of the Koningsdiep stream valley. A journey through meadows, heaths and the open landscape of Friesland.
