Hiking

A good start...

At each entrance gate to the park and at each starting point of a walk, there is a clear overview map showing all routes. The routes are signposted with a pictogram in a particular colour, so you don't have to look at a map all the time and have all the more eye for nature.

Do you like to walk with a map? With our digital experience map you can easily map out your route and use your phone's location recognition to see exactly where you are on the map. Moreover, you will always find up-to-date info on diversions, starting points, hosts, accessibility and more.

You can buy a paper visitor's card (price €2) at tourist information offices VVV Essen, VVV Bergen op Zoom and Visit Kalmthout.

Attention. Some trails are shared paths, so please be mindful of other recreationalists such as horse riders and mountain bikers.

Meet the grazers in the grazing area

Important 'inhabitants' of the Grenspark are the sheep and cattle that graze the heathland and contribute to its management. You can bump into them along the way, as a number of walks cross grazing and rest areas. This is fun, because you can see the animals 'at work'. It is important not to disturb the animals' normal movements, which is why dogs are not welcome in this sensitive area, not even on a leash. The same applies to visitors on horseback or by bike. For walkers, always stay on the permitted footpaths, keep a sufficient distance from the animals and do not feed them. To walk in the grazing or rest area, use the crosswalk or gate. Thank you for respecting the guidelines and always closing the gate behind you.
