Nature walk on the Strijbeekse Heide

Your route starts at the 't Beekdal nature campsite, a suitable location for the beautiful nature walk you will take today. The name was also not chosen by chance: the Strijbeekse Heide, which your route takes you over, is located on the higher sandy soils between the stream valleys of the Chaamse and Strijbeekse streams. The heath was partly planted with conifers from 1932 onwards and partly converted into agricultural land. The area is now increasingly being restored to its former glory. A number of fens were spared, which are regularly dredged to maintain them. You will regularly encounter one during your route. Look out for the hobby, tufted duck, common teal and grebe that live here. On the way back you will encounter the beautiful stream valleys for which the area is known.
