Today we took a walk from the parking lot in Sint-Michielsgestel, which mainly runs along the Dommel and Essche Stroom.

We pass the "Geneberg", a flour mill that is still present in the Meierij. We also walk past the first cooperative hydroelectric power station with an impressive screw that supplies 170 households with green energy.

Also spotted a hare 🐰 and as icing on the cake we …

Trying out new walking shoes, so a nice round Sint Michielsgestel.

Quite a lot of unpaved paths and that is tough with new walkers.

It is a beautiful route; we started on the square and walked towards Boxtel, then back via Esche Stroom and Dommel.
