Tips

One of the wooden sculptures from "Boom tot Beeld" by artist Roel van Wijlick for the nature trail in the municipality of Swalmen.

About the grass snake: it's a water-loving snake that can swim excellently, lives in moist habitats with plenty of hiding places and sunny as well as shady spots, and is completely harmless and (therefore) non-venomous.

This wooden sculpture represents the grass snake, a non-venomous snake that often lives in wetlands. The artwork alerts hikers to this shy but harmless resident of the nature reserve. It's a nice landmark along the route.
