Our Cafe - 3

Put on your waterproof walking shoes for a varied route in the countryside of Esch. Just outside the village you walk along the Smaldijkje, a tree-lined path. You pass a Lady Chapel, after which you visit the Sparrenrijk Estate. This area is designed with straight avenues, where you will see conifers and deciduous trees. Until 1910, Sparrenrijk was part of the Eikenhorst Estate, which you walk through from junction 60. Then you make a loop along the Essche Stroom. You see two faces of this river: the way it originally meandered through the landscape and the straightened flow. The fields around the meander are not only intended for growing crops, but also as water storage. Back in the old village center of Esch, you can enjoy a meal at Ons Café.
