The heath between Elspeet and Vierhouten is very special. When you look around, you will regularly see a striking shape of the hills. These shapes of the hills were not caused by push-up by the land ice, but by meltwater between blocks of ice. Because the deposition of sediment was faster than the melting of the ice blocks, thick layers of sand and gravel formed around and over the ice blocks. When the ice finally melted, a very irregular terrain remained, which was later referred to as a kame terrace.

Great 360 Panorama from this 'Mountain'! I spent 10 minutes picking up trash here, stuck in the Heather around. Please clean up after yourself so everyone can enjoy the spot :)

Beautiful hard gravel road towards some houses in the forest. The road does not continue, so you cycle afterwards (or before) on narrower nature tracks.

The Zandenplas, a swimming lake in the Zandenbos. Also beautiful in the mist.
