De Geelders nature reserve.
From Liempde the line walk goes to the edge of the De Geelders area. On the edge, the former German Line is followed, the route was opened in 1878 as part of the London-Berlin-St. Petersburg connection. What remains is a last remaining stretch of railway line between Boxtel and Veghel. The tour then continues through small-scale agricultural areas to the Dommel. The Dommeldal consists of meadows, fields and bushes. The meadows are meadows and hay fields. Further from the river there are rounded fields on the higher grounds. For Sint-Oedenrode, the Dommel is temporarily left for a visit to the hamlet of Oud Rijsingen with, among others, Hoeve Arbeidslust or Kienehoeve, the original farm was the first reclamation farm of the Schijndelse Heide. After a visit to the hamlet, a small but nice part of Dommel is followed before the tour ends in Sint-Oedenrode. At Liempde the walking tour takes a ferry across the Dommel, the ferry may be out of service. More information about the ferry. Website: www.veerponten.nl
