With the Velpe as your guide, you’re in for a lovely walk through sunken roads and vast fields in and around the village of Opvelp. The landscape has been shaped by agriculture for centuries, as beautifully illustrated by the Berkenhof, a stunning square farmhouse. Enjoy the tranquility and stunning scenery in the Hazeberg Nature Reserve.
