April 10, 2022,Zondagmiddag wandeling Sint Michielsgestel

Trying out new walking shoes, so a nice round Sint Michielsgestel.

Quite a lot of unpaved paths and that is tough with new walkers.

It is a beautiful route; we started on the square and walked towards Boxtel, then back via Esche Stroom and Dommel.

Also spotted a hare 🐰 and as icing on the cake we …

Today we took a walk from the parking lot in Sint-Michielsgestel, which mainly runs along the Dommel and Essche Stroom.

We pass the "Geneberg", a flour mill that is still present in the Meierij. We also walk past the first cooperative hydroelectric power station with an impressive screw that supplies 170 households with green energy.

Because I will soon be doing a short walking holiday with the above travel organization, tested their app.
Very adventurous as I could not see the route in advance and the description of the walk was quite general.

Without letting this become an app review, I must say that I really liked it. To be fair, I have to say …

We enjoyed another beautiful day, unfortunately without the sunshine we were promised. But the eerie views made it quite special at times. With a hint of spring here and there, it was wonderful to be in nature 💚💚
