Icon description route Description

Departure: parking Ecocentrum De Goren - Postelsesteenweg 71, 2400 Mol

A walk where forests and heathlands keep alternating.

The first 2 km pass through the tourist part of Zilvermeer - the campsite and holiday houses in a beautiful and well-maintained park. After crossing the bridge over the canal via the busy Zuiderring, we truly enter a wooded, quiet area.

About 6 km further, the landscape changes completely and we walk over a heath-like area - the Schansheide.

Afterwards, we cross the canal again where a sanitary stop can be made at the pancake boat.

The forest we traverse afterwards is somewhat like a setting for a Halloween movie. In the months of May and June, many trees appear completely gray due to the webs of the ermine moth. Usually, the trees recover later in the year.
