    Popular walking area for many locals in the morning who often leave from the parking lot at café De Statie. Behind that café at the beginning is a picnic spot with a beautiful view over the entire heathland. In addition to heathland, there is also a lot of broom here.

        Behind the charming old town of Stationeke, a vast heathland unfolds, revealing a different face in every season. In summer, the landscape is a deep purple thanks to the flowering heather, while in autumn, warm hues and morning mist give the plain a dreamy atmosphere. The open field is bordered by forests and sandy paths, where walkers can experience the tranquility of nature. This heathland is not only a place of peace and beauty but also a living heritage where nature and the history of the mining region converge.
