At the beginning of the 19th century, there was no forest to be seen in the wide area around the current Schadijkse Bossen, but an extensive plain with heathland, rough terrain and drifting dunes. Overgrazing by sheep created open plains with drifting sand. To prevent nuisance from drifting sand and the growing demand for mining timber, the heathland was planted with pines. In order to regain some of the heathland landscape, a large open space, the Schaaks Heide, was created in the Schadijkse Bossen. Dutch goats and sheep graze on the Schaaks Heide to keep the area open. (click, print and walk)

A not so big parking lot, but an ideal starting point for walks in the Schadijkse Bossen or the Heere Peel. A little further is a pancake forest brasserie called "Aan de drift". Open every Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 19:30. Extended opening hours during holiday periods.
