Tips

Happy Hikers 🦋🌸🌼🦌🇳🇱

October 15, 2022

Voskuilenheuvel is a nature reserve of 18 hectares located 1 km northwest of Venhorst. In 2012, the area was expanded by 6 ha. There will be far fewer trees there than in the older area.

It concerns a piece of coniferous forest, including heathland and a marsh area, which is owned by the municipality of Boekel. When the Peel was reclaimed, this area turned out to be unsuitable for agriculture, as it was partly too dry and partly too wet.

Since 1989, it has been recreated by volunteers from Boekel and Venhorst, cooperating in the Peel landscape park Voskuilenheuvel Foundation, into a piece of Peel landscape with heathland and fens. An old-fashioned sheepfold has also been reconstructed.

The area is grazed by a herd of 15 Kempen heath sheep. It is freely accessible and a circular walk has been set out. You can also view the marsh area via a platform, where the small sundew can be admired. Some notable sightings are: the evening primrose pintail (2014), the hoopoe (2017) and the large fox (2014).
