Celtic fields and witch persecutions

On the Strabrechtse Heide you can still see how large parts of North Brabant used to be. As you step through the moors, you sometimes walk in ancient footsteps, because part of the route takes you past the Hoenderboom and the celtic fields that once lay here. The boundaries of five surrounding municipalities once came together at the Hoenderboom. You can recognize this place by the copy of the old boundary marker that stood here. The Strabrechtse Heide is the largest continuous heathland area in North Brabant. You walk along dry and damp heather, fens and drifting sand. On the edge of the heather you walk through a fragrant forest of Scots pine, spruce and larch. You end your walk at the cozy and cozy Hoijse Hoeve where you can have a snack and a drink.
