At the heart of the Molenheide area lies a second, unnamed fen that appears much more natural than its edges suggest. This fen lies deeper in the forest and heathland mosaic and is completely surrounded by mixed coniferous and deciduous forest that gradually transitions into open heathland. The water body is small, shallow, and highly dependent on rainwater and the local groundwater level. As a result, the water level can fluctuate significantly in wet and dry seasons, creating a dynamic peripheral zone with low peat formation, moor grass, and moist heathland vegetation. Due to its protected location, further from the edges and paths, the fen is a peaceful place where dragonflies, green frogs, and birds such as the wren and blackcap like to forage. Mosses and specific fen plants thrive there precisely because there is little human disturbance. The fen is part of the natural diversity that characterizes the Molenheide: open water amidst dense forest, interspersed with heathlands and grassy areas where highland cattle ensure that the landscape remains open.

The Molenheide fen lies within the Molenheide nature reserve, a short distance from the village of Wilbertoord, about a ten-minute walk from the town. The fen formed in a wet depression and is fed primarily by rainwater and groundwater, creating a shallow, nutrient-poor body of water typical of original heathlands. Moisture-loving plants grow around the fen, and along the edges, roughs and peaty vegetation develop, important for dragonflies and amphibians. The open water and surrounding transition zones provide an attractive habitat for breeding and foraging birds. The fen is part of a larger heathland and woodland mosaic maintained through management measures such as grazing with Highland cattle and targeted management; this ensures the area remains diverse and valuable for species that depend on an open, light-rich, and slightly moist landscape.

Bakelse plassen, I think, were created by dredging work. In the distance you can still see sand being extracted there.

Over the years, the Bakelse Plassen have become a rich bird area, both on the banks and on the water. Daubenton's bats also thrive here. And in the early morning hours, you might encounter deer coming to drink. For example, breeding waterfowl can be found here: grebes, little grebes, mute swans, greylag geese, mallards, tufted ducks, gadwalls, little ringed plovers, moorhens, and coots. In 2019, 269 sand martins were counted, and last year, 229 sand martins were counted. Many bird species have also found their breeding grounds and habitats on the banks and the adjacent golf course. Some of the breeding species found here include: the green, black, lesser spotted and great spotted woodpecker, woodlark, barn swallows, tree pipit and meadow pipit, black redstart, stonechat, mockingbird, treecreeper, blackcap, greenfinches, goldfinches, linnet, yellowhammer and the beautiful bullfinch.

Beautiful typical Peelbos. You walk through alternating parts with conifers, deciduous trees and heath. Most parts are wide paths and lanes but also parts with narrow winding forest paths. On the way you walk along a beautiful fen.

Nice quality gravel path. Not even a problem for the racing bike. It can be very busy here with cyclists and walkers on the narrow cycle path. If you're unlucky, which I once had, the whole herd of grazers is in the path and you have to be patient or turn around. "Creative bike path" is written on the signs at entrances and exits. That will refer to a single piece of art on the path? It is a beautiful nature reserve!

Beautiful lakes, with a super quality gravel path along it. Even to do with the racing bike. Hopefully the cattle aren't in the path. They can stubbornly block the passage for a long time. Popular path, it is often busy here with cyclists and walkers.

The Molenheide nature reserve is located in a series of forest and heathland areas between Oss and Venray, in the northeast of Brabant. The name refers to the vast heathland of yesteryear. This heathland disappeared when coniferous forests were planted for timber production between 1920 and 1939. Natuurmonumenten is restoring the heathland here. The land where a large poultry farm stood until the early 2000s has been dug up, so that heather bushes can germinate again. Animals in the forest and on the heathland The forest is home to all kinds of insects, small mammals and birds of prey such as the hawk, the sparrowhawk, the buzzard and the hobby. You can also encounter deer in the area and you have a very small chance of seeing a fox or badger. The two ponds in the Brabant nature reserve are rich in dragonflies and other aquatic life. A small building from the former poultry farm has been left standing and now serves as a bat winter shelter. 10 long-eared bats have been observed around this building. The blue-winged grasshopper is a true pioneer on the heathland in the area. This grasshopper likes bare and low-growing soils and particularly benefits from hot summer days in July and August. We let Scottish highlanders graze on the heathland to prevent grasses from overgrowing the young heather bushes. Badger tracks have even been found in the nature reserve. Rare plants thanks to nature management Rare plant species such as ground star, small sundew and marsh clubmoss are growing again in some damp, sandy areas. Natuurmonumenten is changing the straight roads and paths that were once constructed for timber production and timber transport into adventurous winding paths.

A beautiful gravel path called "Creative cycle path", around the beautiful lakes "De Kuilen". The word creative refers to the art objects that can be found along this path. If you cycle here on this narrow gravel path, even though the signs say cycle path, you have to take into account many walkers. Unfortunately too busy on popular days. Hopefully the herd of Scottish Highlanders is not on the path, because then it can take a long time before you can pass them. Or you have to turn around and choose another route.
