De Mortelen forms the heart of the Groene Woud, the largest landscape reserve in Brabant. Put on your walking shoes to come and explore this beautiful area. You will also walk a bit over Landgoed Velder.
The Mortels
You can walk straight into the Mortelen here. The landscape in this nature reserve has hardly been affected by the large land consolidations, so that you get a view of the old Brabant farming landscape here. You walk through a decor of poplar groves, coniferous forests and grasslands and arable lands. A beautiful environment in which you will have no trouble at all slowing down.
Orchids
From junction 69 you walk a bit through the forests of Velder, a private estate whose history dates back to the fourteenth century. A little later you can enjoy the natural beauty of Mortelen again. In the spring you see many shades of yellow thanks to the flowering celandine, marsh marigold and slender primrose. The meadows are then colored lilac by the cuckoo flower. You can also admire many orchids here. In the hamlets of Snepseind you can still see a few monumental thatched long-façade farms.
