The 'Moretusbos' is a forest and former estate west of the 'North Brabant village' Putte. It covers 77 hectares and is owned by the State Forestry Service. It contains a star forest, all kinds of dikes and a water feature. The eighteenth-century Gloriëtte in the forest is a national monument.

Hiking

In the Grenspark you will find many old and young forests, including in the Moretusbos. The young forests are mostly production forests created in the nineteenth century. Then many heathlands were sold to private individuals. The trees did well on the meager heather soil and soon supplied good wood that they sold to industry. A number of production forests can still be found in this area.
