If you want to enjoy the blossoms on the fruit trees and do not like crowded places, this walk is what you are looking for. It seems as if you wander randomly through the orchards, but that is not the case.

The walk is a sequence of footpaths and local roads. You first walk 700 meters on the street, and then for the first time, you go through the Wijer Forest to Egel Street. Step over the small ditch, and you come into the fruit orchards.

Now is the time, for the pear trees are beautifully in bloom, wonderful.

After passing through the orchards, 1.5 km of paved roads follow, after which you enter the beautiful Wijer Forest for the second time until you reach the castle.

Rest bench(es): among others at 1.1/5.4/6.6 and 7.6 km.

Sights: Blossoms / Castle of Wijer.
