Peaceful Picnic Spot

Highlight • Rest Area

When leaving the Bunderbos, you arrive here in the quiet hamlet of Snijdersberg. To the right of the triangular square, there are a few picnic benches on a lawn between pollarded trees. An ideal resting and picnic spot.

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are (now?) two benches, but more importantly, and simpler: for me a magnificently beautiful view. Wow.

I recently came across this tour, through Komoot's weekly tips. I kept it then, but knew we couldn't do it until the weather was a little drier. So today is the ideal time!

It really is a very varied tour, with many beautiful places, nice bridges and the rippling water of the many streams and spring. An ideal place to …

Start walks Geulle
Geulle Markt parking lot

Beautiful but tough walk from "our backyard", very muddy in the local area, Bunderbos is a water forest, so good shoes are recommended. Route is +/- 10km.

GPS does not work correctly on my mobile in dense foliage, which is why sometimes incorrect speed and distance!!
[Walking pace +/- 5.0 km/h] (software error?)

Very nice route with a break in "het Hemelke". Route looks a bit strange because the reception was not always good. Even more beautiful in a few weeks when the wild garlic is in bloom. It was also convenient to follow the route in this direction, it was hilly on the way there and mostly flat on the way back.

Today it was time for another good walk. 🥾

Because we're busy with Roller Derby, walking has been on the back burner a bit. But... that needs to change. 😉 A while ago, we saw a walk on Buitenuitjes that looked very interesting. This morning, we set the starting point on our navigation system, and our "Kuilkleum" mobile took us …
