Description
You follow part of the Benniksberg where you have a nice view of the valley. Above the bridge you have a view of the busy E314 but fortunately you don't notice anything else. You can only enjoy the silence and the green of the vineyards. Along the way, you come across a bench at node 65 with a beautiful view of the surroundings. We walk on to node 71 where there is a beautiful mill and you can have something to drink/eat. The way back goes under the E314, under the ECOtunnel to return along the vineyards.
You can park the car in the Blauwmolenstraat between node 146 and 68.

Sunday, September 2, 2018 by Peter GielenPretty nice route with some tough climbs. Thanks for mapping it out.
For me personally it has 2 downsides unfortunately:
The 2 entrance gates for the nature reserve are fairly small for people with a size more.
I also found it unfortunate that half of the routo was paved.
Of course, this is a personal opinion.
