Walk 'des Heeren Graven Bosschen'

Description

“Des Heeren Graven Bosschen” offers a hiking experience in the Pure Kempen, rich in socio-cultural and historical stories.

Along an ancient path, you reach 't Vonderke, a narrow bridge over the Mark, the river that gave Merksplas its name. Retention basins ensure that the Mark becomes a significantly swollen watercourse during continuous rain.

The park domain 't Zwart Goor, once a luxurious country residence, is now a service center of the organization Emmaüs, which supports about 300 people with intellectual disabilities. Natuurpunt manages the nature reserve 't Zwart Goor. This area, together with the Graafsbos, forms a magnificent hiking region.

Attractions: Footpath 't Vonderke and valley of the Mark, landscape park 't Zwart Goor with pond and picnic area, Graafsbos, formerly ‘des Heeren Graven Bos schen’, municipal park Carons Hofke with former motte castle, rectory, ponds and boardwalk.
