This walking route takes you along the periphery of Landgoed Huis ter Heide. The estate, owned by Natuurmonumenten and comprising some 650 hectares, is mainly characterised by forests in the northern part. In the southern part, known as the Loonse Heide, you will mainly find fens and agricultural land. Landgoed Huis ter Heide shines like a jewel within the natural beauty of Brabant.
With the "Plan Lobelia" Natuurmonumenten has succeeded in bringing back the untouched wet heathland here. Flora and fauna have recovered and Scottish Highlanders provide a greater variety of vegetation. A connection has been made between the Huis ter Heide estate and the Loonse en Drunense Duinen National Park by constructing a wildlife viaduct, the Westloonse Wissel.
Boardwalk over Moerven
From the departure in De Moer the route goes south, where you walk through an acacia lane to the Galgeneind. Here you cross to the fen area where we pass the boardwalk over the Moerven. Arriving at the lookout point we have a beautiful view of the Lobelia nature restoration plan. The route continues along the Plakkeven and through the eastern part of Landgoed Huis ter Heide. Via the northwestern edge and over the St. Annapadje you return to the departure point in De Moer.
