Stinzenwandeling

A spring walk across a varied estate.

Brakel Estate has a beautiful park forest and old orchards. There is also a new park area with deciduous forest, flower meadows and a pond. The landscape park contains the remains of a medieval castle that once stood here. The ruin was incorporated into the park as a romantic element. In Gelderland, this is the only preserved example of such a park. The partially walled garden is maintained by volunteers as an ecological flower, herb and vegetable garden. In the spring, we find various stinzen plants there. Furthermore, the deciduous forest is the only old forest in the area, making it an important habitat for many animals. In addition to various songbirds, the green woodpecker, kingfisher, barn owl and stork benefit from the diversity of the area. Advance online reservation is required.
