Gnome trail Leersumse Veld
Location
Did you know that gnomes live in Leersumse Veld? At least, that is what the forester of the Forestry Commission thinks, because you can see gnomes' tracks everywhere. Little footprints in the sand, wheel tracks from a wheelbarrow, crushed grass from an afternoon nap. And you'll also see the occasional gnome dropping. Really!
Gnomes usually live in holes in the ground or in a hollow tree. They are very kind and naturally fond of their gnome children. They are very industrious and helpful and busy all day long. With what? Walking the gnome trail will tell you. Don't forget to look for gnome tracks along the way! And with a bit of luck, you will meet a real gnome...

A knapsack with goodies will be waiting for you at the starting point De Veldschuur. Wearing a pointed hat and carrying the knapsack over your shoulder, you and your parents will walk a route of 500 to 1500 metres. Along the way, you will listen to a story from the gnome book and do gnome tasks. The wooden gnomes will show you the way and you will receive a real gnome diploma afterwards. Reservations are not required.
