Tips

Hiking

Sysselt is a vast nature reserve east of Ede and is characterized by its diverse landscape. Covering 350 hectares, this area consists primarily of extensive deciduous and coniferous forests, but you'll also find heathlands and old planted drifting sands.

The Sysselt was once part of the so-called 'Moftbos', which belonged to the domains of the Dukes of Guelders. Because the Sysselt has been used as a production forest for centuries, the drifting sands became dominant, necessitating new plantings. The diversity is now enormous, and 17 vegetation types have been identified.

Cycling

The area near the bridge by the train station, where the highlight is located, is still a bit dreary and usually overrun with dogs. Further northeast, it becomes really beautiful, and you can easily incorporate a loop across the heath into your tour (some of the photos at the highlight were taken there, but it's a few kilometers to get there).
