View of the White Drawbridge over the Berkel

Highlight • Bridge

This white drawbridge used to be closer to Almen, where the Spitholder Bridge is located. When that bridge was widened, this white drawbridge was moved.

Boardwalk Through the Kienveen (Velhorst Estate)

Highlight • Trail

Open Heath Landscape

Highlight • Natural

This is another part that was not reforested at the time (and will not be, we assume). The heather is in beautiful purple bloom around August and September.

Forest walking path with little bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful narrow walking path. Be sure to go for a walk in the fall, when all the leaves turn a beautiful yellow/orange/red.
