Tour of the Boerskotten forests

Your route starts at Sprakel eten & drinken. Discover the Boerskotten forest area, a beautiful natural forest with small meadows, hedgerows and fields with herbs. Dead trees are left lying, so that mushrooms, mosses and plants can grow on them. Thanks to wildlife tunnels and an ecoduct, the animals are not hindered in their walk through the A1. The Haagse Bos used to be a production forest, but thanks to the work of Natuurmonumenten it has been transformed into a more natural forest with more deciduous trees. No fewer than 5 species of woodpecker live there! The Lonneker Molen was built in the years 1850-1851 as a belt mill, it is the only Dutch brick mill whose brick body is covered with reed. The Poortbulten Arboretum is laid out like a park with approximately 2,500 native and exotic trees and shrubs.
