Hiking

Picnicking on the Kesselse Heide is a fantastic experience for children. Picnic tables are set up around the sandy area, where you can enjoy your own snacks and drinks. Please take your rubbish home with you.

Hiking

This piece of open sandy area has the necessary infrastructure for a picnic and you can now also view information boards about the origin of the heath, the sandy soils and so on. It is also close to the Hoefijzerput (water) and it also has a longer past as you can read. In short: extra reasons to take a break next to others, such as some time for the kids or to consume or get some extra energy through a moment of rest.

This is a nice place to have a picnic under the tree or just relax for a drink
