Especially in June when the rhododendrons are in bloom, the route is extra beautiful

A route 95% unpaved along the many beautiful ponds in strijbeek and landgoed honsdonk. The first pond you come across I can't find a name for anything, halfway along the narrow path you will come across a very special tree known by the name (Beech ''The tree with the ox head'' ) https://www.monumentaltrees.com/nl/nld/noordbrabant/breda/6996_landgoedhondsdonk/15036/ Then you continue on the narrow path that becomes even narrower and we go to the KRUISVIJVER

Recently in February 2017, the last work for the restoration of the Kruisvijver was completed: filling the pond with the careful cross-shaped frame. Soon you will be able to enjoy the reflection of the circle of old oaks in the water from a bench. This is a great start to the redevelopment of the estate. During the excavation, the old contours of the original Kruisvijver reappeared, visible in the discolorations of the excavation. These contours run almost parallel to the current new shape. But a pole of the old pond has also been found. That was only 20 cm. of the current new pond edge ... Chapeau to Foundation in Arcadie and Chris Portengen!
