Westerheideのおすすめツーリングルート

Great place to sit in summer & winter. Beautiful view over the heath with the big windows.

The current mill was built in 1773 and may have been a relocated polder mill. During a heavy storm in 1910, one of the wooden rods broke off, making it impossible to mill with the wind. A suction gas engine was installed in a small building near the mill, which drove the stones in the mill on the ground floor via a pipe. The suction gas engine was replaced by an electric motor during the First World War. In 1920, the mill, already neglected, came to a standstill. In 1926, the mill was restored again, following a campaign supported by the local community. Restorations also took place in 1939 and 1962. (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Korenmolen)

Nice bike path. Chance of seeing cattle

Heather is blooming around mid August to mid September. Worth the visit any time though.

Absolutely lovely paths through the Heather. Best to visit in Heather bloom mid August-mid September.

Very beautiful heath with nice cycle path. Don't get between the cows!

The heath in this area, called the Zuiderheide, used to be a communal heath where farmers grazed sheep. Now it is a beautiful nature reserve that turns purple at the end of the summer.
