Extra tip: Rijntje the Fox for the little ones
Are the children still a bit too young for GPS searching? Then combine your visit with the Kessenich and the Drie Eigen Themed Walk (2.2 km).
This special children’s walk starts near the Vijverbroek. Together with Rijntje the Fox, the children carry out fun, short activities in nature along the way.
