Walking at the Kasteelse Bossen near Horst

The Kasteelse Bossen are located on the edge of Horst in Limburg. Put on your walking shoes and go exploring in this varied nature reserve.

Ter Horst Castle
The route starts at Parkhotel Horst, a pleasant location to have a drink and a bite to eat. You will soon pass the ruins of Kasteel Ter Horst, a castle that was built in the early fourteenth century. During the Eighty Years' War, the castle was partially destroyed and later fell into disrepair. Only the tithe barn and nearby farm were preserved. Part of the castle ruins have been restored, so that you can now take a look into the past.

Castle Forests
A little later you walk into the countryside. It is wonderfully quiet walking here between the meadows and farms. Ideal for a nice chat with your fellow walkers. After a while you walk into the Kasteelse Bossen again. There are still many oaks, beeches and Scots pines here that were planted around 1800. The stately avenues also remind you of the time when this beautiful area was still an estate. What a beautiful walk!
