Tips & Advice

  • Walk the route once the scenes are lit, from late afternoon into the evening, so you see each nativity scene with its lights on.
  • Print the address list and route map for your chosen walk, or use the MyMaps map on your phone, where each scene shows its number and address.
  • If you'd like your own nativity scene on the route, sign up by emailing kribjesroutebennekom@gmail.com so it can be added to this year's walks.
  • Download the nativity-scene coloring page before you go, as the organizers offer it for children as a little extra alongside the walk.
  • Dress warmly and bring a light, since the walks run through the village after dark in December.

Special Events & Promotions

  • A festive opening with food, drinks and music for owners of participating nativity scenes and nearby residents; details to follow.
  • This is the route's sixth edition.
