Near Orshof (the Neerglabbeek section of Oudsbergen), a network of old paths and tracks runs through the dunes, heathland, and forests of the Dune Belt, including sections sometimes locally referred to as cart tracks. These cart tracks are not modern roads but historical unpaved tracks once used by horse-drawn carts and other vehicles to travel through the landscape, often before the construction of official paved roads. A cart track is a unique landscape element that develops in sandy and agricultural areas when frequent cart use creates incisions in the loose soil. As a result, two parallel tracks, often about a meter apart, remain visible in the ground from the cart wheels. These tracks reveal ancient traffic and trade routes and how people used to move through the landscape before modern infrastructure existed. In the Dune Belt and surrounding Kempen countryside, you can walk on various unpaved paths that have developed this character from historical customs and the natural development of paths over sandy soil. Orshof itself lies on the edge of the Solterheide area within the Dune Belt, an important part of the Hoge Kempen National Park, and a unique landscape of heathland, forests, sand dunes, and valleys. A large number of signposted hiking, cycling, and horseback riding trails, which run along unpaved paths, start from Orshof. Many of these trails use old rural cart tracks and field roads from earlier times, paths created by farm traffic between villages and used by horse riders, traders, and residents of the Kempen region. These tracks are now part of the recreational route and trail network that you can follow as a hiker, cyclist, or horseback rider.

The Voorste Luysmolen is an atmospheric watermill located on the Bosbeek, with a history dating back to the 16th century. The mill, surrounded by greenery and tranquility, is still running and shows you how grain used to be milled.

Signs at 't Natuurhuis, the parking lot near that house and the pond in the same neighborhood.
