Tour of the Witrijt and Hapertse Heide

Your walking route starts at Domein THUYSGROND, after an overnight stay at the Landschapscamping or just a cup of coffee at the catering establishment of Landschapsakker De Oude Belg. You will immediately find yourself in a large meadow landscape with wild flowers and herbs, bordered by natural hedgerows. Traditional Dutch land goats graze the meadow. De Witrijt is an area that is part of Boswachterij De Kempen. A wooded area with special nature, such as the nearby Cartierheide and the Zwarte Weijer marshland. The walk takes you right past the Hapertse Heide. Enjoy the views over the heathland here. The heath is grazed by blond beef cows of the Bazadaise breed, you might even see them. They come from Bazas in the Gironde, a region below Bordeaux.
