Icon description route Description

Parking: Cemetery Helchteren, Maastrichtsestraat.

Signage: Waypoints.

These waypoints are not yet on the Wandelknooppunten App, but they have already been placed. These waypoints will become part of the walking network 'De Wijers' and are still in an experimental phase and are currently being tested (October 2024).

Follow waypoints 128-127-124-122-129-50-52-130-128. You will find the first waypoint when you stand with your back to the cemetery and go right, or better yet, use the Wandelknooppunten app to always go in the right direction. You do need to walk for 5 minutes along the busy Grote Baan, but the rest of the path mostly goes through woods and fields.

Between km 1.2 and 3.2, there are many muddy sections. Good walking shoes are recommended.

Rest benches: among others at 3.6/6.7 and 7.7 km.

Sights: Castle Ter Dolen.
