Tour of Haarler- and Noetselerberg

Your route starts at Restaurant De Budde in Nijverdal. From here you can walk straight into the national park. The landscape of the Sallandse Heuvelrug was formed 200,000 years ago by glaciers from Scandinavia. The ridge was once covered with heather, now there are also forests to prevent sand drifts. The ancient juniper bushes are beautiful, as are the bizarrely shaped old oaks. One of the two remaining groups of black grouse in the Netherlands still lives in this area. On the Sallandse Heuvelrug you sometimes have to climb a bit. For example, the Noetselerberg is 60 meters high, the Haarlerberg 63 meters. But the views of the beautiful surroundings are a nice reward for your effort. In good weather you can even see Zwolle from the Noetselerberg viewpoint!
