Description
A walk along the most beautiful historical buildings of little Grazen, such as the Vinckenbosch farmstead and the Grazen mill on Melsterbeek. It is to this mill that the walk owes its name. In 1753 a gang of billygoat riders raided the mill. The miller was dealt with harshly and did not survive the attack. You pass by the beautiful field chapel of St. Anne, a pilgrimage site still visited today against bed-wetting. The futuristic construction you see in the middle of the fields is a beacon of the Regie der Luchtwegen.

Tuesday, August 20, 2024 by I.B.Nice hike but between nodes 425 and 426 the trail runs through a meadow and it was closed on both sides with a thick chain by the owner. The signage is also almost illegible or missing in many places.

Tuesday, March 8, 2022 by Veerle MarsoulPartly paved, partly unpaved through orchards and fields. Quiet walk, too bad about the part along the road (where cars dare to whiz by at serious speed) Think this route is at its best when the fruit trees are in bloom.
