One of the few open spaces in the forest here. Possibilities for a savannah-like landscape.

Slippery and muddy in many places due to leaves

In the heart of the vast Pietersembos lies a surprisingly open natural area known as the Savannah. This bright clearing contrasts sharply with the surrounding deciduous and coniferous forests, offering an almost exotic feel amidst the greenery of Limburg.

The Savannah was created through a combination of natural open spaces and historical land use. Human influences such as past deforestation and grazing have created a unique ecosystem where sun-loving plants and flowers flourish. In spring and summer, the grasslands and wildflowers paint the Savannah in vibrant hues, while butterflies and bees dance among the flowers.
