June 3, 2026, Parking for Cycling Through the Trees (Fietsen door de Bomen) – Bosland

Spacious parking close to the street. Well indicated by the typical flags. The walks start right near the parking, so you don't have to take a long connecting route first.

A small, hidden gem of the heath. Heather blooms here from mid-August to mid-September. Flora and fauna in harmony. With a bit of luck, you might spot a deer frolicking through the vegetation.

Wooden animals along the Forest Dwellers Route. Along this walk of approximately 2.4 km, there are about ten wooden animals, such as a fox, woodpecker, wild boar, buzzard, squirrel, and so on. Next to each animal is information and a task so that children can “imitate” the animal’s characteristics.
