Hiking

Good walking paths through all kinds of forests and woods in Kessel and the surrounding area.

Hiking

The GR 12, which passes through here, runs from Amsterdam to Paris – and this stretch of forest road in Kessel is a perfect example. For those who are tired, there's a bench with a motivational slogan. Those who aren't hiking the GR 12 (the majority of those passing through, of course) are welcome to sit on it.
