Inslach’ means reclamation. The name already reveals that De Inslag (165 ha) has not always been a forest. The heathland was reclaimed as arable and pasture land. With the construction of a castle domain in the 19th century, the area was forested until it became a lush hunting backdrop. During the world wars, it was an open battlefield again. After the last war, there was a strong focus on timber production. Now the Agency for Nature and Forests carries out extensive nature management, which benefits biodiversity. You can now also enjoy nature to the full as a walker and cyclist.

Inslach' means exploitation. The name already reveals that De Inslag (165 ha) has not always been forest. The heathland was reclaimed as arable and pasture land. With the construction of a castle domain in the 19th century, the area was wooded until a lavish hunting decor emerged. During the World Wars it was an open battlefield. After the last war, there was a strong focus on wood production. Now the Agency for Nature and Forests conducts extensive nature management there, which benefits biodiversity. As a walker and cyclist you can now also fully enjoy nature.
