Walking with Donkeys through the Roman Landscape

“Donkeys naturally help people to relax.”

Anyone who meets Marielle Colen notices it immediately. She speaks with equal enthusiasm about donkeys, the history of the village, the South Limburg landscape, and the Romans who lived here almost two thousand years ago.

At Hof Kricheleberg in Bocholtz, all these passions come together. This centuries-old half-timbered farmhouse is not only an attractive holiday destination, but also the starting point of one of the most unique Roman experiences along the Via Belgica: a walk with donkeys through the Roman hill landscape.

“I want people to slow down. As soon as you set off with a donkey, you automatically start looking at the landscape in a different way.”

Would you like to plan a Roman donkey walk? Then book your walk here. When making your reservation, please mention that you would like to take the Roman walk, so that Marielle Colen can treat you to her fascinating story.
