In winter you look out on the frozen fens, in spring everything comes alive and you hear the birds singing. What remains every season are the vistas and endless silence. Hike across the Groote Heide and through the Leenderbos in North Brabant and discover the vast views.
Infinite silence and vast vistas
Forester Erik Schram: "During this walk you will find yourself far from civilization and in the middle of an area full of panoramic views and infinite silence. Climb the watchtower and enjoy the wide view of the flowing waters of the Tongelreep, the fens in the heath and the cattle in the grazing area.
Walking through the forest you can smell the conifers and discover the character of the Leenderbos. You won't find a single straight stretch here and meander through the area. During the walk you walk along the crane ponds on the Groote Heide. There you have the chance to spot water birds.
With enough freezing temperatures, you can enjoy the beautiful frozen fens during the winter months. Still, I prefer hiking in the spring. Everything grows and blooms and comes back to life. Around you, you can hear the birds singing."
