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

Boekent
At Herberg de Brabantse Kluis you can park and possibly drink 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 originated from an estate of the Teutonic Knights. You can still see many well-preserved farms.

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

The most famous windmill type in the Netherlands. Windmills were used not only to produce flour from cereals, but also to reclaim polder areas. Natural energy. The most famous windmills can be found in Kinderdijk, really set up as a polder model. A must see!
