In the picturesque village of Neerhespen, a brisk walk through vast fields awaits you. You’ll pass centuries-old buildings such as Neerhespen Castle, the Zulpele Farm, and the unforgettably beautiful Holy Cross Chapel in the middle of the fields. According to legend, the chapel was built on the spot where a farmer found a statue of Christ in the Middle Ages. You’ll pass Mimesis, a fruit-shaped artwork with a hidden Braille message.
Before you set out: This is a walk on a virtual walking network. The junctions are not marked on the ground. Follow the hexagonal red-and-white signs bearing the name of the walk.
