Primeval forest under construction
At junction 96 you arrive at the Beekbergerwoud. The last primeval forest in the Netherlands was located here, but the forest was cleared in 1871. Natuurmonumenten is now trying to revive the forest by purchasing land and planting it. Furthermore, a new swamp forest is being constructed in the meadow area on both sides of the A50 highway. In this way, Natuurmonumenten tries to restore the elements of the old landscape to their former glory. The landscape surrounding the forest consists of characteristic farmland. In the spring you can find a wide variety of flowers here.
