Round Kolkven from Moergestel

Your route starts at ROOT Eet- en Borrelhuys. First you take the path along the Reusel. It is a quiet walk along this stream, while looking out over the grasslands. You then walk on a car-free road between the fields and meadows. A little later you dive into the woods and walk along the Brandven at your leisure. The water from this fen was used to extinguish fires. The Kolkven is the largest fen in the Oisterwijk woods. This fen was not blown out by polar winds, but was carved out by the swirling water of an old meltwater river. At junction 2 you will pass Zandstraat 5, an authentic small farm from the early nineteenth century. The building is in the top 100 of national monuments!
