Icon description route Description

Parking: Swimming pool De Merel, Zwarte Spechtstraat Heppen.

Signage: Signposted path.

The beautiful “Nachtzwaluwpad” walk through the Gerheser forests is signposted with a white arrow on an orange background.

In some places, the paths are underwater, but there are side paths so you can still pass. The signage was perfect for 5 km, after which we didn't see a few signs. So use the GPS on a hiking app.

Attractions: Lourdes grotto (slightly deviate from the route)

Catering: Cafeteria De Merel

Saturday, October 18, 2025 by R.G.we've been going hiking every week for years, and this is the worst hike we've ever done . beautiful scenery there nothing about it , but that's where it stops . not a single junction sign encountered and the orange circles with white arrows that serve as alternatives are hidden behind trees or bushes or just not there . a DAMAGE !!!!!
