Fantastic area to walk and varied. You walk through the forest and the fantastic heath. Area is very hilly so it is often uphill and downhill.

Nice to meet the Scottish Highlanders like this. You can quickly find them on the basis of the fresh heaps of droppings.

Mookerheide Nature Cemetery

Highlight • Natural

Those who are not very good on foot will surely like it, as the paths are very well laid out and the landscape is beautiful. Perhaps a little too sterile for others.

A wonderful route ❤️ Very varied! There are so many great paths... Whether you prefer paved trails or trails... there is something for everyone here. If you're really brave, you can get very close to Scottish highland cattle, which are in a specially fenced area.

January 19, 2023,De Twee Schansen wandeling op de Mookerheide...

Finally a walk in dry weather and sunshine. It didn't go without a hit or a hit, but together with Tilly I still had a lovely walk. An area worth repeating... You can read my report at riannes.blog/2023/01/20/twee-schansen-wandel
