Tips

It is useful to adapt your clothing to the weather. It is always useful for children to bring clean clothes. A towel can also come in handy.
Wheelchairs and strollers cannot use the path, but you can carry your child in a sling/bag.
An entrance ticket is for 1 round of the barefoot path. Would you like another round? Then you must buy a new ticket online or at reception.
You can also walk the barefoot path when it rains! Walking is a completely different experience than if you haven't done it for a while. The barefoot path is therefore open even in bad weather. Walking stimulates blood circulation and you will suffer less from cold and cold feet. Of course it is useful to wear appropriate clothing.
When the weather is warm, it is useful to wear swimwear so you can splash around in the water. Shorts are definitely recommended in reasonable weather.
If you want, you can buy something to drink, an ice cream or a cookie at the reception afterwards.
You are not supposed to have a picnic or something to eat along the way.
Stay on the path and do not deviate from the route. The route is being checked, but we cannot check all the space next to the path to see whether it is suitable for bare feet.
There are no refunds for tickets already purchased. Buy the tickets on the day itself. In bad weather, put on a poncho, your feet will get wet and dirty, but it will keep you dry on top.
Charge your electric car while walking the barefoot path! We have 2 charging points.
There are toilets at the beginning and end of the path. You can also wash your feet here.
