Witte wieven on the Lemelerberg

Extensive silent forests, a picturesque stream valley and beautiful panoramas: this long hike takes you through the beautiful surroundings of the Lemelerberg and the Earlier Achterbroek. Take provisions with you, because you walk almost the entire route through nature!

Lemelerberg Nature Reserve
A hundred years ago, the Lemelerberg was an area devoured by sheep. When the herd disappeared, the mountain slowly grew thick with forest. To preserve the remaining heathlands, a herd of Veluwe heath sheep has been grazing there again since the 1980s. So that you still have beautiful panoramas from the almost eighty meter high Lemelerberg. Is it a bit foggy? The irregular shapes you see are juniper bushes, not white wives.

Church bridge near Giethmen
You also walk along the ancient church path between Giethmen and Ommen. In the past, the residents of Giethmen walked along this path to church twice every Sunday. They crossed the river Regge via the charming drawbridge, an icon. There is a lookout tower on the 34-meter-high Besthmenerberg that offers you a majestic view of the surroundings. The route ends in the middle of the woods at Group Accommodation De Wolfskuil. You can have a wonderful stay here and continue to enjoy nature.
