Most fens in Oisterwijk were created by wind erosion. The southwest wind in particular has prevailed since the last ice age. Brandven is one of the many beautiful fens that you can enjoy walking around.

Groot Aderven

The Oisterwijkse forests and fens is one of the most beautiful hiking areas in Brabant. It can be busy on weekends, if you have the opportunity go during the week, it is much quieter then.

February 12, 2023,Natuurpoort Oisterwijkse Bossen en Vennen.

Started today from the parking lot of Natuurpoort Visitor Center Oisterwijk. Starting early is a must i.v.m. the crowds in the large parking lot.

A beautiful hike through a very beautiful nature reserve. You walk in the woods, on forest paths, along fens and regularly over slight hills. Every hiker can easily find his way here.

Visited the fens of Oisterwijk again. It was a beautiful sunny, fairly fresh day in early October. The fens were beautiful again, with those blue skies and slowly changing trees. A picture!
And on top of that, the many mushrooms that can already be admired. It is clearly becoming autumn.
Enjoy!

It is so beautiful to walk through the Brabant countryside... and today was no exception... following a tip, I walked the 14 Fens Route by Natuurmonumenten... the route is a marked trail of 9 km, and I extended it... a walk consisting entirely of forest and along the fens, that is... in the shelter of the forest and with the …

Today we took the 14 Fens walk with my daughter through the Oisterwijk forests and fens. This instead of a day of shopping. We started with a delicious cup of coffee and a cake at restaurant Speijk. Then on the road. Some rain was forecast, but we were prepared against that. Some parts were very swampy and sometimes the paths …

Inspired by a post on Instagram, got up early to drive to this beautiful place (50 min from Lommel). I followed the blue arrows (occasionally off the path because something caught my attention)😅
The place with the beautiful morning sun (and the sun harps + halo) on the fen, I 'stuck' there for a while. The kingfisher flew past me …

Instead of getting up to your ankles in mud
There are plenty of benches at beautiful viewpoints along the way,
And
There are various places to stop where you can buy …

Grey weather and only 3 x a minute of nicer light.
Even in grey weather, walking through this area is still better than sitting inside.
I won't cycle below 10 degrees anymore because my legs just don't get warm anymore.
No problems with walking. Last year I cycled less and walked a lot and cycled Paris-Roubaix and the necessary cols …
