Icon description route Description

Short but beautiful walk through the landscape De Liereman.

The walk passes by the Echelkuil, where "echel" (leeches) used to be bred for medical use. The breeder used horses to harvest the "echel". He put boots on the animals and tied them to a pole in the pond. The leeches attached themselves to the legs and fell into the boots when they were satiated. In this way, he could harvest them, after which he sold them to pharmacists and French hospitals.

On the other side of the pond, we see the hunting lodge of the 'Echelkuil' estate.
