Here we see a rebuilt turf hut that could be found here in the 19th century. These turf huts were spread throughout this area and were inhabited by the poorest workers. A turf hut was a simple structure, usually partially excavated and without side walls so that the roof started at ground level. The roof was covered with sods brought from the surrounding land.

On this beautiful campsite there is a separate field for trekkers in the forest 👍 Here you can camp really close to nature or spend the night in a hammock.

Camping in the heart of the Veluwe, as camping is meant to be. Peace, space, hospitable and a friendly atmosphere; that is camping site Beek en Hei. The hasty life makes way for experiencing and enjoying nature and tranquility.

"And then we're already there. Beek en Hei is the name of the huge but friendly campsite on whose fairly secluded Trekkerveld we set up our tent under maple trees on their carpet of autumn leaves. The end of the day is a short walk through the darkness of the Otterlose Buurtbos and around the square; Back at the tent we can only enjoy the comfort of the furniture for a short time, then the only downpour of the trip drives us into the tent. Cozy. Thank you for your first precious day." https://www.komoot.de/tour/962145286
