Busjop Burial Mounds

Highlight • Historical Site

3,000 years ago, the ashes of the dead were buried after cremation at the Busjop Burial Field. The ashes were then placed in an urn or cloth, and the whole area was covered with a low mound of sods.

Each individual received his or her own burial monument. By repeatedly creating a new mound near another, a vast burial or urn field was created. Over the course of five centuries, a "death landscape" of more than fifty burial mounds developed here.

In 1951, the burial field was partially investigated, after which the urns and cremated remains ended up in the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden. Due to the growth of trees and brambles, the mounds disappeared from view for a long time and fell into oblivion. In 2010-2011, the Dutch Forestry Commission, in collaboration with the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands, cleared the forest, creating an open landscape. This ultimately led to the rediscovery and restoration of seventeen burial mounds.

View over Leudal

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Leudal is a 900-hectare nature reserve consisting primarily of forests with scattered grasslands, fields, and patches of heathland. Three streams flow through the area: the Leubeek, the Zelsterbeek, and the Haelensche Beek; for this reason, the Leudal is also known as the "Three Rivers Land." Approximately 500 hectares of the area are managed by the Dutch Forestry Commission (Staatsbosbeheer). Source: leumolen.nl/Entree/Start%20Leumolen/DeLeumolen.htm

The Old Bakehouse

Highlight • Historical Site

The Kloosterhof bakery, now owned by the Dutch Forestry Commission, is open a few days a year. Bread is baked there, which you can then enjoy with homemade jam while listening to stories about the bakery and its history. Additional information is provided on the sign. There are several benches.

Vennetje

Highlight • Lake

A small, shallow pond. It was completely dry when I visited, while volunteers were tending the surrounding heathland.

The pond—or fen, if you prefer—is the only one of three in the immediate vicinity that didn't dry up during the dry spell I passed. Still, it's a lovely view from the bench, seen from up high. It must be quite large in wetter periods.
