The Spanish Forest is a small area consisting mainly of coniferous forest. In the Nederpeel, part of the now nicely meandering stream de Neerpeelbeek is followed. After leaving the Nederpeel, the walk through the Grote and Kleine Moost will both be old peel remnants. South of both peel remnants, a large area has been restored to its former state, including the newly excavated fen. Then the hike goes through the forests of Waterbloem, this area is an alternation of woodland, agricultural lands, groves, tress forests and grasslands. As a whole, De Waterbloem is a very attractive walking area. At the beginning of the hike you will visit an old monastery farm as a point of interest. The monastery farm and the brewery building are the only ones that have been preserved from the original monastery buildings. The actual monastery complex was demolished in 1958.
