The ‘Korte Beentjespad’ – an adventurous hiking trail for kids
The Korte Beentjespad is a 1.5-kilometer walking route in the Den Rooy nature reserve in Meerle. Moms and dads bravely follow the adult trail, but the kids discover the path in their own way.
They can walk along winding paths and bridges, they feel the moss, they can climb among fallen trees and discover little animals. Jump over ditches, build huts and so much more. The Korte Beentjespad guarantees happy children's faces, dirty hands and a great afternoon.
