Tour of historic farmland near Liempde

Bicycle 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. Convex fields are reminders of centuries of cultivation of the soil. In Liempde itself you will also find a lot of the farmer's character, with farm houses in the middle of the center and beautiful vistas 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 thriving craft in Liempde. Poplar forests were planted around Liempde for the wooden shoe factory, which are still there. The forest area you walk through south of Liempde is a so-called loam forest. The bottom contains loam, which prevents the water from seeping away through the bottom. The wet subsoil is ideal for alders and poplars.
