Loondermolenpad

ATTENTION : We first walk a bit along the barrier over the camping site of the Volmolen before we arrive at the hiking trail. You know you're in the right place when your caravan passes 'Krek wa'k wow'. "It's important to pay attention to where you walk, because in rain you slip in all directions"

Blue boots The walking route, which is called the 'Loondermolenpad' is a 'wet nature pearl'. You follow the poles with the blue boots on them and then you come over Landgoed de Loonderhoeve, past meadows, through trouser forests and past dead woodpecker trees, over a plank path and over sandy paths that are sometimes dry and often a bit wetter. There are rest points at various places during the tour. For example, you can take a breather on the vandal-proof Hans Kloosterboerbank, while unpacking your picnic basket or backpack to enjoy your self-brought nap and dry.

You enjoy the vastness and the variety in the landscape, but also the silence. You come over several footbridges over the Dommel and over the Keersop. They are uneven in height and connect the different walking areas. If it's not too hot and not too cold, this is a wonderful trip through all colors of green."

Sometimes it seems like we've gotten far, far from civilization, if you miss a blue arrow, you really won't get lost."
