Celtic fields and witch hunts

On the Strabrechtse Heide you can still see what large parts of North Brabant used to be like. As you walk through the heathlands, you sometimes walk in ancient footsteps, because part of the route takes you past the Hoenderboom and the Celtic fields that were once here. The boundaries of five surrounding municipalities once met at the Hoenderboom. You recognize this place by the copy of the old border marker that stood here. The Strabrechtse Heide is the largest contiguous heathland area in North Brabant. You walk along dry and moist heath, fens and drifting sand. At the edge of the heath you walk through a fragrant forest of Scots pine, spruce and larch.
