Kabouterkoning Kyrië Adventure Trail

Together with the (grand)children, enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Koebosch in Hoogeloon. The kabouterkoning Kyrië Adventure Trail makes this even more fun. The adventure path, about 2.5 km long, can be visited free of charge. Gnome King Kyrie is a folk tale from the North Brabant town of Hoogeloon. According to the stories, Gnome King Kyrie was the leader of the gnomes who lived in Kempen. The gnomes went out at night to help farmers and houses in the area. During the walk, you will pass adventure points, where the children can play games and do activities dedicated to Gnome Kyrie and nature. Enjoyment for the whole family! It is not suitable for the disabled, prams and wheelchairs! A map of the route can be picked up at Restaria Mainstreet on Hoofdstraat 64 in Hoogeloon.

Koningkyriepad (the story)
Life was not always good in the Brabant countryside. Farmers had to work hard. And despite all the ploughing, planting and fattening, the poor sandy soil, yielded little. Farms were relatively small. Setbacks like a season that was too wet, often had disastrous consequences. They found comfort and hope in their Catholic faith, as well as in gnome stories. The good-hearted creatures would secretly do chores for a sick or needy farmer. Or was it the mutual solidarity of the neighbouring farmers after all?
