Keep walking; from the sunrise route to a glühwalk
I already saw some handy curfew tips popping up on Instagram. And I don't mean those from the Thuisbezorgd jackets that allow you to hop on your bike after nine. I saw a useful one about shifting your rhythm. Go to bed between nine and ten, and get up at five. I can see the appeal in that. Especially because then you have plenty of time for, for example, a walk at sunrise on the beach. Yes, I'm still walking, and that's why I've looked up some route suggestions for you from the walker for the walkers.
Sunrise route at the beach
It doesn't matter where, but make sure you're on a beach before sunrise. Preferably with a thermos cup filled with your favorite coffee. And go for a walk while the sun rises. You have the beach to yourself, the sunrise to yourself, and the feeling that you've already had a day behind you by the time you're home around ten. Are you going to Noordwijk? You can also grab a nice warm hot chocolate to go at the Winterlodge. Just a little tip.
Coziest route in Brabant
Brabant has always been cozy, but I dare say I've dug up the coziest walk in Brabant for you. In the hospitable Den Bosch, the hospitality industry has rolled out Stadswandeling 073. At each hospitality stop, you can enjoy something for a reasonable 5 euros. To avoid causing a huge crowd, you do need to register for a time slot, but that's a small effort, of course. Oh, and you can go more often, because 073 already has four routes with different stops on each route.

Do a Glühwalk
I wouldn't mind this walk either. In Amsterdam, there are plenty of Glühwein routes, where you can go door to door for a refill with your own thermos cup. I personally want to do the Glühwalk again. And if you're thinking: do I have to go all the way to Amsterdam to do something like this? Of course not. It seems that glühwein spots have also sprung up in Breda and on the Ermelose Heide. I would just google it.

A route with apple pie
This must be the tastiest walk of all. That's because you can pick up a slice of apple pie at an apple pie point. I think it's brilliantly thought out. In Wijk aan Zee, one of the most beautiful beaches in the country, Aloha has cookies and hot drinks for you. The beach is beautiful enough to stroll from left to right, so that combines nicely. Enjoy your walk.
Do you know the Kennemer yet?
This one is at the top of my list. The National Park Zuid-Kennemerland is said to be exceptionally beautiful with Beachclub Parnassia to pick up something warm to go after you've done a good hike through the dunes, of course.
A stroll around Ommen
My new favorite walk is near Ommen and Dalfsen on the Sallandse Heuvelrug. You park at De Lemeler Esch and grab a nice piece of homemade cake there (after all, you're going for a walk) or get soup at the Boscafé. From that point, you walk through the forest to the Lemelerberg and Archemberberg. If it's very clear, you can even see Germany, which is about as close to a trip across the border as you can get right now.
Ten on Tiengemeten
Here you walk where I grew up nearby. The small island Tiengemeten is located in the middle of the Haringvliet. Just keep an eye on whether the ferry is running, given the measures. But once you're on the island, you have kilometers to choose from. A walk of around 4 to a maximum of 10 kilometers. Just remember to bring your own snacks and drinks, as the island is a nature reserve.
