Bokkenrijderswandeling

428 - 427 - 426 - 425 - 424 - 428

A walk past the most beautiful historic buildings in the small village of Grazen, such as the Vinckenbosch farmstead and the Grazen Mill on the Melsterbeek. It is this mill that gives the walk its name. In 1753, a gang of “bokkenrijders” raided the mill. The miller was brutally attacked and did not survive the assault. You’ll pass the beautiful field chapel of Saint Anne, a place of pilgrimage that is still visited today to pray for protection against bedwetting. The futuristic structure you see in the middle of the fields is a beacon belonging to the Regie der Luchtwegen.

DETOUR starting March 1, 2026: The route from 424 to 428 is interrupted by roadwork, making the loop via junction 425 impossible. Follow Orsmaelstraat to the turnoff for 428. This shortens the walk by 2 km.
