Liessel forest.
The forest area has been transformed into a more natural forest area, making it an attractive walking area with wide forest paths interspersed with winding narrow forest paths. As a point of interest, one passes by the mill "De Volksvriend" and along a few long-walled farms.

In the first part of the hike you have to take into account the sound of the A67.
The motocross track of MC Deurne is situated in the Liessel forests, which can also cause noise nuisance during competition days.
