Walking through Merselo and surroundings

Merselo is a Limburg esdorp on the edge of the Peel. You can enjoy a lovely walk through the countryside and through the Loobeek valley.

Loobeek valley
From Merselo you can walk straight into the Loobeek valley. In this nature reserve you will find flowery moist grasslands. You also walk through small forests consisting of alders and willows. Where the soil is somewhat drier, birch and coniferous trees also grow. It is wonderfully quiet here, ideal for a moment to relax. You cross the Loobeek twice. It has been redecorated in recent years, so that nature has a better chance.

Never thought
Past the hamlet of Haag you walk into an offshoot of the Vliegveldbossen. You mainly walk here between the Scots pines, although you can also see some tufts of heather growing. Many birds of prey live in this area, there is a good chance that you will spot one at the edge of the forest. At the end of your route you will pass Nooit Gedacht, a flour mill from 1867.
