May 3, 2026, Roode Heksmeer

Het Roode Heksmeer is a quiet pond in the middle of the forest. The dark color of the water and the peaceful location give this place an almost mysterious atmosphere.

A blue reflector on the tree. One on the ground. Part of the lid was found, but nothing else.

This is really nice in dry weather. A very narrow path through the heather. Stop and notice how thin/high the dark patch of ground is, with sand underneath. Then you realize how resilient the heather must be to survive here.

Since there is no bench, it is only suitable for a break in dry weather.

The landscape here is so beautifully rolling, which makes the view of the heath even more beautiful. Especially beautiful at the end of summer, when the heath turns purple.

Take the opportunity to take a break at this beautiful little body of water, which appears unexpectedly among the greenery.

The Waschkolk, near Nunspeet, is an idyllic lake surrounded by forests and reed beds. This quiet spot is perfect for hikers and nature lovers who want to enjoy the still water and rich nature. A nice stopover during a trip across the Veluwe.
