Step into the night and let the trail light your way.
Results.
What?
On October 11, De Schorre will be the setting for a special adventure. During the second edition of the Night Trail, you will explore a unique route through the dark, illuminated by atmospheric lights and surprising elements. No classic race, no ticking clock, just you, your lamp, the night, and the path ahead. It's all about experiencing and enjoying. The familiar paths of De Schorre look completely different at night: mysterious, exciting, and sometimes a little magical. Sometimes the lights guide you, sometimes you rely on your instincts. Every turn, every step brings new surprises. Ready to experience De Schorre in a whole new way with Nighttrail?
