Grass path with deep tractor ruts

Highlight • Trail

In high grass watch out for overgrown, deep tractor tracks. Here and there an obstacle in those tracks (dumped rubble)!

Zwarte Graaf van Bovelingen

Highlight • Monument

From the last tree, a special figure has been carved. This is the Black Earl of Bovelingen, who according to legend died of buying a large amount of black goods, for an apple and an egg, and was cursed because of this.
His soul could not find rest, however, and returned to his castle during the autumn and winter evenings. No one got the soul converted unless this person had no sin on his mind.
For the whole story, there is a plate, at some benches. A cozy place, to get to know the legend.

Red Avenue

Highlight • Trail

This avenue has been protected and owned by the municipality of Heers since 2005. This 420 meter long avenue originally provided access to the now disappeared castle of the Borchgrave-d'Altena family (Castle of Bovenlingen). The name refers to the red color of the footpath that was built at the time with the waste of red bricks used for the construction of the outbuildings at the castle.

Sunken lane

Highlight • Trail

Sunken lanes are a historic landscape feature and provide an important natural corridor and habitat in the agricultural landscape. Badgers love these locations because the steep, vegetated walls provide ideal locations for their burrows.
