Tour of the Oisterwijk fens and Kampina

Your route starts at De Rozephoeve. From here you will discover two beautiful nature reserves: the Kampina and the Oisterwijk forests and fens. Two extensive, connected nature reserves where you can enjoy many kilometres of forests, fens and heathland. You will make a beautiful loop along the banks of the Klein and Groot Aderven. These were created by wind erosion, which you can see from the west-southwest location of the fens. Then you walk up the Kampina, a rugged area of heathland and forests. The name is derived from the Roman word campina, wild ground. In August you can enjoy a beautiful colour mosaic in purple hues here thanks to the flowering heather. There are also many fens, for example you walk along the Belversven, one of the most species-rich fens in the Netherlands.
