Your route starts at the Véssumse Hoeve. From here you can walk straight into Vessem. The Molen Jacobus or Jacobusmolen is a round brick belt mill from 1893. The mill has been nameless for a long time and was named after the former miller Jacobus Peeters during the restoration in 1986. The radius of the Jacobusmolen is no less than 28 meters. Then you walk into the Buikheide, a forest area that was once created for logging. You will see conifers and American oaks here. You will pass the Grootmeer and Kleinmeer, two natural fens in the nature reserve. Because of the special flora, the fens are a protected natural monument. With its 19 hectares, the Grootmeer is one of the largest in Brabant. There is a lookout tower that offers you a beautiful panorama.
