Here you see arrows pointing towards the sheepfold and the sheepfold itself in the distance. Take a walk there. From this sheepfold, the shepherd goes on a tour with his sheep to let them graze on (temporarily) fenced-off selected areas of heathland. And there is a picnic bench with an extensive information board about the sheepfold and the grazing of the heathland. A special walk, the Lammetjesroute (Lambs Route), for children, 4 kilometers long, also passes by, about which you can read more at https://www.visitnoordlimburg.nl/nl/lammetjesroute
