From the starting point you quickly walk into a mixed forest on the Galgenberg. Then you walk along the ponds of Terlamen of which you unfortunately cannot see much. The route continues along the Sneppekot, a swampy area in the direction of a beautiful part of the Weyerman nature reserve. This is followed by a fairly noisy and boring stretch along the Vogelsancklaan. Through mixed forest it goes up to a very old oak with bench. Here you have a beautiful view of the Hamelweyer, private property. In the Vogelzangbos you climb to the Bolderberg where De Kluis is located. The Vault dates from 1673 and consists of a chapel built according to the plans of the chapel of Our Lady of Loreto and a few living quarters. The centuries-old beeches in the area are impressive. The garden of the Kluis is surrounded by old hornbeam trees that were carefully pruned. The 7 limes planted in a semicircle in front of the building symbolize the 7 sorrows of Mary. Near De Kluis you have a nice panorama of the Terlamen ponds and the castle of Terlaemen. Through a beautiful heather landscape you walk back in the direction of the starting point, but the walk is not finished yet. At the departure point, enter the domain of Bovy and walk "over water", a nice ending.
Well marked.
