Walking/hiking routes

This 15-kilometre hiking route takes you through the countryside around Stramproy, a village in the municipality of Weert. The hiking route KempenBroek – Border Route West is part of the international nature reserve KempenBroek, which was officially recognised in 2024 as a UNESCO Man & Biosphere area. You’ll be walking right between two countries, in a landscape where nature and culture blend seamlessly.

Route marked in blue

The route starts in the village of Stramproy and is marked with blue signs. Soon you leave the built-up area behind and head towards the Stramprooier Heide, with views across open fields and forest edges. Along the way, you pass the Vosseven, follow the A-beek stream and walk past the historic Broekmolen. You’ll cross the border with Belgium more than once – often without even noticing. That makes this walk extra special.
