Description

The Loosdrechtse Plassen are not only a popular recreation area, but also a special protection zone for birds, plants and other animals. Discover it with this route!

Baarn Forest
You start with a cup of coffee at Grand Café Groeneveld, located on the beautiful estate of Kasteel Groeneveld. Via the Baarnsche Bos you cycle to Soest, after which you dive into the forests of Boswachterij De Vuursche. In these vast forests, deciduous and coniferous forests alternate. You cycle further along the Loosdrechtse Plassen. On the remote banks the black tern breeds and on the marshy quaking bog grow rare plants such as round-leaved sundew, thread sedge, orchids and large rattle.

Spander forest
The Spanderwoud was originally a production forest of deciduous and coniferous trees. A little further on you will discover the Bussumerheide, Westerheide and Zuiderheide, which are part of the Goois Natuurreservaat. Numerous prehistoric remains are hidden here: camps, a banscheiding, doodwegen, an urn field and burial mounds. You can also admire a restored Bronze Age pole wreath burial mound, from the period 3000 - 800 years BC. In the southern part of the heath there are still heathland fens that were used in the past to wash the sheep flocks!
