WML - Mookerhei

The route passes the Mookerheide estate. The estate, designated as a protected national monument since 2001, consists of a hunting lodge surrounded by a park and gardens. Its construction started in 1902. Together with the associated forests, the estate covers an area of 160 hectares. When Natuurmonumenten acquired the Mookerheide estate in 1985, there was hardly any talk of an estate. After years of restoration, the estate is again pleasant to experience and worth a visit.

To provide extra protection for the groundwater, part of the Mookerhei groundwater protection area is in place. It concerns 380 hectares, which is comparable to about 760 football fields. You can fully enjoy the Mookerhei, but handle it with care! That means:

• stay on roads and paths;
• do not damage plants;
• take rubbish with you;
• keep the dog on a leash and pick up the poop.
