Icon description route Description

We did this walk on 14/03/2025 (14,236 steps).

We felt like taking a walk along a canal and decided to make a circular route out of it, so we wouldn't have to return the same way. The canal from Bocholt to Herentals turned out to be ideal for a leisurely stroll, over the wide, partially paved towpath. We included a section of 3.6 km along the canal in the route.

The inland part of the route offered a variety of landscapes. Unpaved, straight roads through fields turned into paved roads that took us past farms and barns. Additionally, the walk took us through a patch of forest with beautiful nature, offering a calming and picturesque change. With a small detour, you come to the burial mound of Baron Coppens, which is now a sanctuary for numerous bats.
