Boardwalk Nietelbroeken

It is not really a bridge but just a longer boardwalk than the shorter one you encounter earlier on the walk. There are several small bridges over the streams. This boardwalk can sometimes be quite handy because the nature reserve can sometimes be very wet. But at other times it is bone dry. Be sure to look at the plants in the spring next to the path. Perhaps most importantly: right next to the path is a very sturdy picnic bench.

The open to semi-open landscape with species-rich grasslands alternates with deciduous forest and shrubs. The unique and extremely rare blue grasslands in the area make grass fans salivate. They owe their name to the bluish color due to the large presence of plant species such as blue knot, blue sedge and tooth grass.
