Hiking
A unique place because here on this pointy ground you can see the peel land break with your own eyes.
Here is a big difference with what is normal, because here the high ground is much wetter than the lower ground.

Hiking
This peaceful bench is situated on a small rise at the edge of the Wijstgronden, offering a beautiful view of the unique Wijst landscape. The subsoil here is influenced by the Peelrand fault, causing groundwater to rise on the higher side, keeping the soil marshy and rich in seepage water.
From the bench, you look out over a mosaic of wet grasslands, peat moss, small streams, and elevated fields that remain dry. The contrast between wet and dry—typical of Wijst—is clearly visible here.
