Vucht can be described as a cosy appendage of big brother Den Bosch; comfortable living without fuss or fuss. Our guide for the day, Jan, moves into a cottage there and takes us to the other side of the A2, where the Esche stream flows into the Dommel.
A little way upstream, playing children have discovered a real treasure trove. …

February 20, 2023,St. Michielsgestel: Dommel en Essche Stroom

Today we fled Teskesdurp (Kerkdriel) and ended up in Bokkendonk (St. Michielsgestel). Where carnival was also celebrated in abundance.
I had put together a wonderful trip (it still is), but after ± 5 km komoot threw a spanner in the works again. I fell for it once, not now. As a precaution I also sent the trip to Hans, so …

August 27, 2023,Romeinse munten – De oude toren Rondje vanuit Vught

Very nice route to walk.
We started at a different point than the original route, because the first part runs along an 80 km road, which we did not like. There is also a parking lot there, which is very convenient.

September 15, 2024,Landhuis Zegenwerp – De oude toren Rondje vanuit Vught

Round trip from the edge of Vught. A nice walk along the Essche stream and the Dommel.

The walk along the Essche stream over the 2 small bridges is very wet and muddy. The reeds and bushes also grow well over the path.
