Icon description route Description

We took this autumn walk on October 9, 2025 (15,869 steps).

A journey through the Limburg Kempen, where relative silence and nature predominate.

📸 What you encounter along the way:
- Stermolen: a charming old windmill with a painted compass rose on the millhouse.
- The Cross Chapel: a modest chapel along the path, a place for brief reflection.
- Monument in the Market Square: a tribute to those who fell in both world wars.
- Viewing tower: a playful element along the route, fun for young and old alike.

🍽️ Brasserie De Meule invites you for a stopover with a local drink or snack on a typical Limburg terrace.

🔊 Sound atmosphere: Although the route mainly passes through quiet natural areas, the background noise of a nearby shooting range is regularly audible. For us, this wasn't disturbing, rather a fixed part of the local ambiance.

Happy walking,
