    Hiking

    The Schemmersberg is a 40-hectare heathland and dune area that is closely linked to the Zonhoverheide forest complex.
    Drift plains with sand sedge and bunt grass have a place on the abandoned parts of the sand quarry. The Schemmersberg walks run near the old agricultural hamlet of “Klotbroek” (the old name is Slaapdel). Schemmersberg is derived from the Middle Dutch schim, which means shadow. The Schemmersberg area has 3 marked walks.
