Rovertsche Leij and Molenheide forest.
You leave the former town hall of Poppel and walk on traffic-calmed agricultural roads along fields and forests in the direction of the chapel van Rovert from 1735. There are several picnic benches here. The route continues on a wide dirt road that runs parallel to the Dutch border. Here you will certainly see traces of deer. Just before the Tilburgseweg you turn around and walk through the quiet woods of Molenheide. At first on wider forest paths, but then you follow a narrow winding forest path until you come back to a more open landscape. On a traffic-calmed paved road you go in the direction of the Rovertsche Leij. The path follows this beautiful meandering brook for a while. Along the edge of a meadow and a piece of paved road you come back to node 25 to walk back to the starting point.
