Hiking

Take a break here during your trip and enjoy a beautiful view over the Westerheide. The heather is generally in bloom from mid-August to mid-September. Then you can enjoy landscapes in lavender color.

When the heather is in bloom, you have a beautiful view over a purple plain.

Hiking

The Westerheide is named so because it lies west of Laren. This heath is of great archaeological significance. Besides the fourteen burial mounds, there is an urn field here that belongs to the largest in Europe. All sorts of finds can be viewed in the Goois Museum in Hilversum.
