Tour Strabrechtse Heide and Heidecafé

Your route starts at Heidecafé De Strabrechtse Heide. You walk right into nature here. On the Strabrechtse Heide you can see how large parts of North Brabant used to be. You walk along dry and humid heathland, fens and shifting sand. In early spring you can hear and see the moor frog near the fens. Shrub and cap heath are'mown\\\' here by Kempense Heideschapen. When you encounter the herd and its shepherd it seems like you are taking a leap back in time. People have been connected to this special area for centuries. Agriculture has been practiced on the Strabrechtse Heide since the Iron Age, and remnants of Celtic fields have even been found. At the Waschven you have a good view of the grazing Scottish highlanders.
