Short walking route through Oisterwijk Forests and Fens

Your walking route starts at Grill Restaurant & Café Vuur & Vlam, beautifully situated on the Lind in Oisterwijk. From here you can walk to the Oisterwijkse Vennen, once an extensive heathland. At the end of the nineteenth century, Scots pines were planted for mining and shipbuilding. Nowadays, more and more native deciduous trees are growing there. You will pass the Staalbergven and the Van Esscheven. Both beautiful places to enjoy the silence or take a photo. You will also make a beautiful meander along the banks of the Klein and Groot Aderven. These two fens were created by wind erosion. This can be deduced from the west-southwest location of the fens. Grab a bench and enjoy the blooming lilies.
