Description
According to popular belief, goat riders were persons or spirits who rode through the air on goats. They were active in the period between 1740 and 1798 in what is now Dutch South and Central Limburg and Belgian Limburg. The name'Bokkenrijders\\\' was first used in connection with the Limburg robber gangs in the trial of 1774 in Wellen.
In Wellen, the Herk river runs like a green ribbon through the landscape. De Herk connects two nature reserves: the Grote Beemd in the north and the Broekbeemd in the south.
