It's amazing how many ups and downs this wooded inland dune landscape of Boomberge has. It used to be a heathland with flocks of sheep, but is now covered in conifers, oak and birch. It's a shame that the heath is no longer there. But the hills are still there and they are also good terrain for mountain bikers.

The Boomberge have been a nature reserve since 2004 and are home to rare plant and animal species. The Boomberge were formed during the last ice age 10,000 years ago by sand deposits from water-rich rivers. Due to its popularity, the nature reserve sometimes reaches its limits, which is why there are designated paths whose use helps protect nature.
