Green Café Hiking Event Tungelroyse Beek

Join us for a relaxed hike through a beautiful natural area in North Limburg and meet some new people along the way! This time, we'll follow the Rond de Tungelroyse Beek route, which takes us through De Krang, a nature reserve near the village of Swartbroek in the municipality of Weert. Check the route here. We will walk around De Krang, a large nature reserve surrounding the town Swartbroek (municipality of Weert), which serves as a breeding ground and stopover site for many bird species. What makes this place unique is the variations in elevation and moisture levels supporting a diverse range of plant and other animal species like butterflies. De Krang is part of the Nature Park Kempenbroek, a large natural area that has been designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. So, let’s enjoy this unique route together! Whether you have attended previous Green Café events and would like to keep engaging and build a community, or you are a first-timer looking to connect with like-minded people and get to know some Dutch natural areas outside Eindhoven, this walk is for everyone, so feel free to invite some friends! This walk will be group-guided by Zarina and Mayra, supporting members of the Green Café Hiking team. Note: Public transport connections to the starting point are limited, so we encourage everyone to carpool where possible. Please email us at [email protected] and let us know whether you can offer a ride or would like to join someone else's car. This will help us coordinate the journey and reduce the number of cars needed. • If travelling together from Eindhoven: We'll meet at 9:50 at the parking space of Sint Bonifaciuspark located at Sint Lidwinastraat 1, 5643 RS Eindhoven.
