Grab a coffee and a slice of cake at PUUR in Diever. The shop opens at 09:00, so you have plenty of time to settle in before the afternoon rush.
16:03
Walk to the Dolmen D52. This ancient funnel beaker culture site features a gatestone and six roofstones. It is a stark, quiet spot that feels disconnected from the modern world.

Watch the sun set toward the SW. The golden light that started around 15:48 will give way to the final glow of day at 16:48.
17:18
End the evening with a warm sandwich at 't Nieuwscafé. It is open until 22:00, making it a comfortable place to stay after the chill sets in.
Local tip
