You walk under tall old trees and along hedgerows and streams. One of the avenues has a folkloric custom: in this avenue of knots, couples in love traditionally tie knots in young beech twigs to seal their love. The Lodewijkslinde is also located on the estate, a tree more than five meters thick that Louis XIV is said to have slept under in 1672.Oude MolensIn Vorden itself you will pass De Hoop, a monumental flour mill from 1850. A year later, the Hackforter mill was built, also to grind grain. Until 1960, this mill was owned by the barons Van Westerholt van Hackfort of the nearby castle. The Antonius Church dates from the thirteenth century. At the end of your walk you enter the timeless building of Hotel Bakker: a real family hotel where you can still experience authentic hospitality and coziness.
