Beautiful short walk through a beautiful heath landscape from Dagcamping and parking lot de Borkeld. Along the way you will encounter burial mounds and along a sheepfold :)

March 1, 2023,Borkeld... wat ben je mooi 😍

In this very varied nature reserve of Staatsbosbeheer you will find heathland, juniper bushes, wet peat bogs and forest. Many archaeological finds have been made in the area, such as flints, urnfields and burial mounds. You will find information about this in the visitor center 'n Witten. The Elsenerveen was originally a high moor area, which was drained by reclamation. …

You just happen to meet 2 hospice colleagues there. Favorite recreation area also for the Veluwe residents 😊

April 7, 2025,Markelo, over de Borkeld

Away from the highway, because the Borkeld is right next to the A1. Yet you hardly notice it during the round. You walk quietly through a beautiful nature reserve with large grazers. And... at this moment - April - the currant trees are in bloom.
