Along the trail

Picnic spots

Bring your picnic and pause at one of the following spots along the trail:

 

• Keeses Mill – historic mill site with open space and views of the landscape
• Intersection Pater Damiaanstraat-Masereeldijk: there is often an ice cream cart here and you can also admire a poem by Otobong Nkanga there during RHIZOMA
• Kabouterberg – magical forest area where you can sit among the trees (and gnomes)
• De Punt – triangular grass field near MASEREEL and ideal for taking a break (on or in the shade of the work Dug-Outs – Primitive Hut by Wim Cuyvers)
• MASEREEL – enjoy some chilled drinks under our monumental oak tree

 

We ask that you take rubbish with you or throw it away in the dustbins provided. This is how we keep Kasterlee clean and pleasant for everyone.
