November 20th, 2005, Route 93, Rietbeek- en Houtsbergroute, 14 km. Great combination of 2 routes, very varied, open and sometimes forest again. Even passing a day recreation area, several fens, wild horses, rare birds and very rare plants. Great hike! The route starts and ends at the Limburgs Openluchtmuseum Eynderhoof which was unfortunately closed (off season) when we walked this hike. Easy trail, very well marked, no significant climbs… As you pass several trails frequently used by farm traffic, waterproof boots are recommended. There’s an excellent birdwatchers cabin next to the lake ‘De Banen’ which is worth a stopover, even if your not into bird watching yourself.
