Walking through Gemert and the fields

Gemert is a beautiful village, ideal to discover on foot. In the countryside you walk through an old cultural landscape.

Bookend
At Herberg de Brabantse Kluis you can park and possibly have a cup of coffee before you set off. In the countryside you walk on small roads where almost no cars drive. Here you will find a characteristic old landscape of fields, small forests and stream valleys. You walk through Boekent, a hamlet that emerged from an estate of the Teutonic Order. You will see many well-preserved farms.

Gemert
At the edge of Gemert is the Volksvriend, a corn mill from 1887. At the end of this square you can take a quick look at the St. Jans Onthoofding church from 1437, before you pass Kasteel Gemert a little later. This castle originally dates from 1391, the current main building dates from 1740.
