Tour of Visdonk and Watermill from Roosendaal

Your route starts at Outdoor Roosendaal with its extensive range of hiking boots. Here you will find a varied landscape with old lanes, forest and heath. Nearby you walk past the Environmental Education Center Watermolenbeek (MEC). Here you will learn everything about the special environment. The Visdonk estate already existed in the seventeenth century and in the summer beautiful bell gentian flowers bloom around the Rosenven. In the Middle Ages, a lively trade in peat arose here. You walk back via Roosendaal. Long ago, peat was exported to Holland, Zeeland, Flanders and Antwerp via the port of Roosendaal. At that time, the Vliet was still in open connection with the North Sea, so the Roosendaal skippers even sailed to England and France.
