Clog tour of historic farmland near Liempde

Cycling and Walking Café 'T Groene Woud is located in the middle of the Groene Woud National Landscape, which has a characteristic small-scale agricultural cultural landscape. Round fields are a reminder of centuries of cultivation of the soil. In Liempde itself you will also find much of the farming character, with farmhouses in the middle of the center and beautiful views between the trees. Picturesque spots are the Raadhuisplein and the Kapelstraat. Here you will also find the last clog maker of what used to be a flourishing craft in Liempde. Poplar forests were planted around Liempde for clog making, which are still there. The forest area you walk through south of Liempde is a so-called loam forest. The soil contains loam, which prevents water from seeping away through the soil. The wet subsoil is ideal for alder swamp forests and poplars.
