Walk Somerense Heide

Those who go for a walk near Someren often choose the Strabrechtse Heide. However, there are also beautiful alternatives, such as a walk through the Somerense Heide. Until 1920, this was an extensive heathland that extended all the way to Weert. The heath was reclaimed for agriculture, and conifers were planted on what remained in a rectangular pattern. Since the turn of the century, the area has changed from a straightforward coniferous forest to a mixed forest. Part of the former heath was also restored, with several artificial fens being created. The largest of these is called the Keelven. It is beautiful and wonderfully quiet to walk along the water here. You can also relax and enjoy the fresh air in the rest of the forest. The route ends at Boscafe De Soete Inval.
