Clog tour of historic farmland near Liempde

Fiets En Wandelcafé'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 a reminder of centuries of cultivation of the soil. In Liempde itself you can still find a lot of the farm character, with farm houses in the middle of the center and beautiful vistas between the trees. Picturesque places 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 the clog making industry, which are still there today. The forest area through which you walk 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 ground is ideal for alder swamps and poplars.
