Description
The Foeksenbos is a noble piece of nature reserve that includes the Wolvendael Castle Park with the Warande Castle Park and the Ossel Hagen Castle. The forest itself is not accessible, but you will pass it as you walk through the hilly landscape with springs and streams. Admire the country church of St. John the Baptist in Ossel with features of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Stop for an ice cream at 't Molenhof and take a break in the Drinkeling play and food forest, with small observation tower.

Sunday, December 19, 2021 by Hilde VdVQuiet roads with variation between fields, orchards, village center, with only some mud at the end in forest road. Some hilly though which gives beautiful views. After the walk refuel in village cafe osselstar at the church Van Ossel.
