    Hiking

    In this vast nature reserve (170 hectares) you can admire water birds, deer and other animals from three different observation huts. In addition, there are also (other) winged friends such as hawk, black woodpecker and the speckled skipper (day butterfly) present in the area. The ecological value of the Eksterheide will increase in the coming years through targeted interventions. So keep an eye on this piece of greenery!
