Show all 4 photos
Walk 25.7 kilometres upstream along the Dommel. The drifting dunes, fens and wet heathlands that you walk past in this stage create a completely different landscape than you have seen so far. Further along you end up between the swampy forests and reed beds.
The Dommelpad
The Dommelpad takes you over a distance of 125 kilometres from Peer to ’s-Hertogenbosch and back. During this six-day walking route, you cover 20 kilometres a day on average, following the current from south to north and the story of the windmills. And going upstream from north to south, you follow the story of the countryside.
The Dommel’s natural green gems
River Dommel’s valley and the adjacent nature reserves are ranked as Natura 2000 areas and are well worth visiting. Following the course of the meandering river, you encounter swampy forests, hayfields, fens, heathlands and many other types of landscapes.

Towards the source
The Dommel originates in Belgium, close to the city of Peer on the Kempens Plateau and ends 120 kilometres further away in the Dutch city of ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
Stream valleys
The water of a river such as the Dommel leaves its mark on the landscape. A stream valley is characterised by low-lying water surrounded by sandy ground which offers plenty of variation.
Space for the river
In the past few centuries, parts of the Dommel have been straightened to enable the water to drain faster and to reclaim land. This process was reversed at many locations at the beginning of this century, giving the river more space to meander.
De Groote Heide
The Dommelpad runs straight through De Groote Heide, a varied cross-border nature reserve covering 6,000 hectares that extends from Eindhoven in the Netherlands to Pelt in Belgium. The watermills adorning the landscape along River Dommel have partly defined the countryside. Discover the local stories and all the beauty that this border region has to offer on degrooteheide.eu.
