Hiking in Kattevennen

Entrance gate to National Park Hoge Kempen

Signposted routes take you to quiet enjoyment spots in the Kattevennen pine forest. At the car park of the domain, walking routes leave for e.g. the Mariagrot of Wiemesmeer or the Heempark.

The green route is 4.6 km, the blue 7.2 km and the red 9.6 km. A yellow loop of 11.5 km connects Kattevennen with the Hei- en Meibos of Sledderlo and the surfing lake Papendaalheide.
Via these routes, you can also connect to other hiking areas in the National Park via the long-distance walk that connects all hiking areas.

The hiking maps of Kattevennen and the other entry points of the Hoge Kempen National Park are available at the Visitors' Centre.
