From Moelingen in the Maasdal you walk past fields and orchards to the Dutch church village of Mesch. This village was on September 12, 1944 the first Dutch village that was liberated by American soldiers. From Mesch you walk along vast fields interspersed with numerous orchards in the direction of the Berwijn nature reserve. Oaks, hornbeam trees and a lot of spring flowers grow on the chalky slopes of this area.

The valley of the Berwijn.
From the village you walk through farmland interspersed with orchards in the direction of the Dutch village Withuis. Just before the village you cross the busy N627 and you come to the Meschermolen, a water mill on the Voer. From the mill you walk in the direction of Mesch, the southernmost church village of the Netherlands. Once you leave the village you walk through fields and orchards in the direction of the valley of the Berwijn. You go a short distance next to this beautiful meandering river and then via a hollow road make a short climb through a slope forest. On wide unpaved roads you walk back in the direction of Moelingen.
Very good marking by nodes of the Voeren hiking network.
