Nature guides from IVN Laarbeek will take you on a surprising sidewalk plant walk through Lieshout as part of ‘De Hort Op’.

Between paving stones, along facades, and at the edge of the street, a world grows that often goes unnoticed.

Join us on this journey of discovery close to home and let yourself be surprised by the resilience of nature between stone and concrete.

Who is this walk for?
For everyone: adults, but also (grand)parents with (grand)children.
Registration and prior knowledge are not required, but curiosity about that often unnoticed plant world is. The walk starts at the parking lot opposite Bavaria Brewery Café.

Look at the sidewalk differently from now on – there is more growing there than you think!
