There's also a sheepfold on the edge of the Ermelo heath. The sheep graze the heath daily, and it's a bonus if you happen to encounter the flock along the way.

On the Noorderheide heathland near Vierhouten, three landmarks made of boulders can be found: the Daniel George Pyramid (D.G. Pyramid), the Miesje Pyramid, and the Peter Paul Pyramid (P.P. Pyramid). Along with the now-lost Victoria Pyramid, they were part of the estate of Daniel George van Beuningen (owned by the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum). In 1935, he constructed ingenious waterworks here, consisting of brick gutters, ponds, and a pumping station to pump water and supply the streams. The three remaining pyramids have been restored by volunteers.

In Roman times, around 170 AD, this site housed a 9-hectare Roman army camp, which housed approximately 4,000 to 6,000 legionaries. Its outlines are still clearly visible in the landscape. The earth walls of the Roman camp are a protected monument (stolen from Wikipedia: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ermelosche_Heide)
