A walk along the Mander Circles

You simply have to see the Mander Circles at least once. And while you're there, of course you'll want to walk on to the Springendal and the Hazelbekke stream valley.

Jannink's bra
The Mander Circles were created in the 1930s by textile manufacturer Jannink. According to him, the round shape offered the advantage that farmers could work the plot without having to turn their machines. Instead of crops, you will now find the largest landscape art project in the Netherlands there. A unique experience. The circles are clearly visible from the air; pilots jokingly call them the 'Jannink Bra'.

Hazelnut
At junction D49 lies the former dolmen of Mander. You walk over the Galgenberg, where executions took place in the Middle Ages. Along the border with Germany, it is wonderfully quiet. Just like in the forests of the Springendal, where you walk past ponds and narrow brooks. Around junction D96, you walk through the magnificent stream valley of the Hazelbekke, where you will find hay meadows, swamp forests, and hedgerows.
