You can go for a walk in Venray! Art, culture and nature come together in the municipality of Venray. It is excellent recreation in the center and in the surrounding church villages where a rich history and diversity of landscapes can be admired on foot.
Meerdaags Wandelevenement Venray has been in existence since 2018. During this event in the first weekend of June you walk through Venray and you walk along the church villages. During the walks, the versatility of Venray can be experienced via the various routes. Will you walk with us to enjoy the open air and the beautiful varied nature!
There are 6 distances, namely: 10 – 20 – 30 – 40 – 50 and 60 km per day. The first 3 distances (10-20-30 km) form the basic distances, the other distances (40-50-60 km) are the so-called combination distances. All basic distances start and end at Schouwburgplein in Venray. On Sunday 4 June there is also the possibility to walk a distance of 5 km. This route is particularly suitable for families.
The 5 kilometer is only available on Sundays.
The 10 kilomater is ideally suited for the novice walker.
The 20 kilometers are mainly intended for the more experienced hiker.
The 30 kilometers can be an excellent training for, for example, the Nijmegen or Apeldoorn Four Days.
This distance can be walked by first walking the 30 km and then the loop of 10 km. This distance is also ideally suited as training for one of the longer four-day walks during the year.
As with the 40 km, you first walk the 30 km and then the 20 km loop, the reverse is also allowed. This distance is ideally suited as training for one of the longer four-day walks during the year.
Especially for long-distance walkers we still have the 60 km. At this distance, the 3 basic distances (10, 20 and 30 km) are run in random order. This distance is of course an excellent preparation for a Kennedy march or other long-distance walk.
As a Multi-Day Walking Event Venray, we take our responsibility when it comes to sustainability and environmental concerns. A printed route description no longer fits the current time frame. There is a worldwide shortage of paper and paper costs are also rising. So also from a cost perspective it is logical not to print the paper version of the routes en masse.
Our route committee ensures that the routes are optimally marked out.
NB:
Our routes are on paved and also on unpaved paths. In this way we want to show the walkers the most beautiful places in Venray and the surrounding area.
Below you will find our resting places of the 3rd edition. Maybe useful to organize your route(s) or fun for your supporters who you want to come and encourage.
Have fun walking
The route committee

From Friday 3 to Monday 6 June, enjoy delicious beers in combination with summer dishes from the barbecue during the first edition of 'Beer & Barbecue Festival'. During this extra long Whitsun weekend, we will transform Henseniusplein into a barbecue Valhalla with various seating areas, barbecues, lighting and stretch tents.
The ideal setting to come and enjoy all these goodies in the summer! In addition to our thirst-quenching beers, you can of course also order refreshing wines, cocktails and soft drinks. cheers!
And so Hensenius Hapt will be a Beer&Barbecue festival this year with something for everyone! There is a diverse range of barbecue available every day: from meat to fish and from vegetarian to halal.
Under the watchful eye of Godefridus Henschenius (statue on Henseniusplein), in addition to the walking event, the first edition of the Beer and Barbecue Festival “Hensenius Hapt” will take place in 2022.
Godefridus Henschenius (Venraynaar Gaert Henskens) was a great scholar of modern historiography.
It is therefore inevitable that the Multi-Day Walking Event Venray and food festival Hensenius Hapt will write history………
