    Hiking

    Brandven – Wortel-Kolonie
    Discover Brandven, a tranquil spot in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Wortel-Kolonie. This fen is not only a beautiful nature reserve with dragonflies, heathland, and tranquility, but also a place of remembrance: in May 1944, an RAF bomber crashed here. Information boards along the route tell the story.

    Hiking

    Take a seat on this bench and enjoy the view across the tranquil pond. The water reflects the sky and surrounding trees, while dragonflies and birds provide some movement. A perfect spot to pause, unwind, and absorb the tranquility of the Wortel Colony. The horses love to be petted.
