Gortenloop

Highlight • River

The Gortenloop is a stream that is central to the restoration of wet grasslands in Hobos in the coming years, as you can see on an information board here and elsewhere. This restoration of the Gortenloop valley means some tree felling that is compensated on the edge of Hobos and the return of wet flora and fauna, as well as combating the continuous - visible - dehydration. The Gortenloop feeds the Dommel via several intermediate roads, at least if there is water in it. On the other side of the wet grassland that you see here is also an information board and a pool.

Hobos Entrance

Highlight • Rest Area

This is where the actual domain begins/ends, which also includes the famous building complex of which goat rider persecutor Drossaard Clercx was undoubtedly the most evocative resident. Elsewhere in the domain you will encounter a similar closure. Whether this is the beginning or the end of your stay in Hobos obviously depends on where you come :)
