Take this flint walking tour through the fascinating world of flint, a unique material that has been used by man since prehistoric times. Not so much to experience fire, but because it can be processed into all kinds of tools like no other material.
Be surprised by the connection between the landscape and the extraction of this flint raw material, which was so important at the time. This flint route is 5 kilometers long and starts at the Mijn Rijckholt information center in Rijckholt. Here you can park for free.
This flint route takes you past a number of places that tell you more about the history of the flint. This information can be found in the walking brochure that accompanies the route or click on the icons of places of interest in the map.
Due to height differences and the steep stairs in the forest, this route is only suitable for an experienced walker, and not with prams. Have fun walking!
