Celtic fields and witch hunts

On the Strabrechtse Heide you can still see how large parts of North Brabant used to look. As you walk through the heathlands, you sometimes walk in centuries-old footprints, because part of the route leads you past the Hoenderboom and the Celtic fields that were once here. The borders of five surrounding municipalities once came together at the Hoenderboom. You can recognize this place by the copy of the old boundary post that stood here. The Strabrechtse Heide is the largest contiguous heathland in North Brabant. You walk along dry and damp heathland, fens and drifting sand. At the edge of the heath you walk through a fragrant forest of Scots pines, firs and larches.
