Walking through the countryside of Dongen

This walk first takes you through the Duiventoren. This nature reserve is home to conifers, American oaks and beeches. You walk northwards along wide lanes. At the Wilhelminakanaal you turn right. Via a winding path you arrive at the Woeste Zee. This is a remnant of what was once a much larger drifting sand area. The remains of a canal system can still be found in the forest. According to legend, a robber knight lived here. The route takes you further through Laareind and Steenhoven, two hamlets consisting of a few farms. You walk back into the forest along the meadows and fields.
