Tips

October 28, 2022

Gerhagen offers several hiking trails in addition to this random path. In addition to two silent walks and the whisper path, you have a series of other walks based on nodes. These are available in the forest museum where the tourist office of Poort van Gerhagen is also located. The brochures with the walks are available free of charge. There are also various signs throughout the nature reserve on which you can see the walks, but of course you can also plan your own walks. Last but not least, there are countless hikes (including the official ones traced by various Komoot users, some of which also belong to Gerhagen's volunteer team).

Also pay a visit to the Forest Museum. Especially children interested in nature will discover something. And it's ideal if you also want to visit the VVV tower, spend some time in the sand or - as many Looienaars do during the weekend - after your walk you want to get wet and dry in the restaurants around - because everything is close by each other and close to the start of the hiking trails.

A nice walking path where you can really enjoy the "Silence". Hear the wind rustling through the tall trees. Just enjoy at your own pace. Enter the path and the silence falls over you. Enjoy it
