Discover Molenschot: Pilgrimage, golf and the Tree Frog Trail

If you are looking for a hotel in Molenschot, the village offers several specific attractions to help you plan your trip: devotion to Saint Anne, the Tree Frog Trail, Golfclub Toxandria and the alpacas at Wilgenhart. These include religious history and a route through varied landscapes, as well as golf and encounters with animals.

Saint Anne in Molenschot: pilgrimage and visiting hours

Devotion to Saint Anne has a long history in Molenschot. The Chapel of Saint Anne, opposite the church, was dedicated to her in the 19th century. The Confraternity of Saint Anne was founded on 1 June 1879; annual pilgrimages from the surrounding area followed.

On a pilgrimage, believers ask Saint Anne to intercede for them in matters of marriage and family, when seeking a spouse and when hoping to have children. The patronal feast is celebrated every year on 26 July at St Anne’s Church.

You can light a candle in St Anne’s Chapel: daily from 10:00 to 18:00 in summer and from 10:00 to 17:00 in winter. For planning purposes, there are two points of reference: an annual feast day and seasonal hours for lighting candles. Check the opening hours and feast arrangements before your trip.

The Tree Frog Trail through the village, woodland and farmland

The Tree Frog Trail is part of an ecological corridor and passes through farmland, woodland and the characteristic village of Molenschot. The route starts at Landgoed Toxandria, Veenstraat 89, in Molenschot. The mix of landscapes is appealing if you would like to experience open fields, woodland and village scenery along one route. Route conditions may change; check them before setting out.

Golfclub Toxandria and its design history

The golf course at Golfclub Toxandria in Molenschot was originally designed by British golf course architect Harry S. Colt. The club welcomes green-fee players as well as guests introduced by a member. The Tree Frog Trail offers a route through varied landscapes, while Toxandria offers a golf course with a historical connection to its original design. The two options therefore differ clearly in the focus of your outing.

Alpacas and local produce at Wilgenhart

At Recreatieboerderij Wilgenhart, you can visit the alpacas, take them for a walk or feed them. You can also enjoy a high tea at Wilgenhart. The combination brings together an animal experience and a meal break, while visiting the alpacas can also be an attraction in its own right.

There is also a farm shop on the grounds where you can buy local products. Check opening hours and the availability of activities before your visit; the farm shop’s opening days may change.
