Wolvendaal, originally a 'Hof van plaisantie' from 1765, which was converted into an eclectic castle. The castle is surrounded by a landscape park that was created at the end of the 19th century.
Unfortunately, depending on the season, you only have a limited view of this old well-maintained castle park along this route.
The footpath runs along high dense hedges at the back of the castle grounds.
In some places, with the right light, the hedges create a tunnel effect.

Two high hedges follow the path, but reveal little of the castle...

You sometimes hear it said 'A loophole was used', but this is an example of a loophole.
Gaining more or less 'Unseen, but in a more or less legal way' insight into the Wolvendaal castle domain.
