Along Erica near Zwart Goor

Goudberg Reserve consists of a fen with peat islands. One of the few remnants of raised bog in the Netherlands. Differences in height of a few meters give the area a special, private atmosphere.
The vegetation consists of mixed deciduous and coniferous forest.
From the fifties of the 19th century, hundreds of hectares of heathland, with the fens located therein, were sold by Domeinen and largely reclaimed.
Only the most barren fens remained practically untouched.
As a result, there are now only four fens, all located on the Strijbeek heath.
They are the Rondven, the Langven, the Zwart Goor and the Goudberg-ven.
The Goudbergven is best preserved.

A beautiful location with picturesque views, especially in winter with frost

A beautiful piece of heathland. Hiking trails lead you through Erica's purple carpet. Unfortunately, the associated fen had dried up. A scenic location.
