Walking in Limburg, you quickly think of the hills in the south of this province. Yet North Limburg is also suitable for wonderful walks. Like this route through Horst and the natural surroundings.

Ter Horst
Right at the start of your walk, you will come across the first sight: the ruins of Castle Ter Horst. This castle dates from the fourteenth century, but was partly destroyed by plundering soldiers during the Eighty Years' War. In 1798 the French put an end to the seigneury rights of the last occupant, after which the castle fell into disrepair. Only the nearby 1744 tithe barn was spared. In Castenray you can admire, among other things, the Saint Matthias Church, the choir dates back to 1485.

Os Kruuspunt
A little later you walk along the Castenrayse Vennen and dive into the Schadijkse Bossen. You pass the Eendracht Maakt Macht, a mill from 1899. Because it was made with parts from an older mill, there are two years on the beard.

The most famous windmill type in the Netherlands. Windmills were not only used to produce flour from cereals, but also for draining polder areas. Natural energy. The most famous windmills can be found in Kinderdijk, which have truly been set up as a polder model. A must see!
