Wooden cards with wishes. Fun to display or to hang up your own wish.

Nice piece of forest. Just take your time.

These trees together form the ground plan of a cathedral in France. You can walk around and through them. There are information signs.

A new city needs a cathedral, Marinus Boezem thought. The artist sees the Gothic cathedral as the highlight of ‘a space structured by human ingenuity’, comparable to the construction of the polders of Flevoland on the bottom of the former Zuiderzee. In the meantime, there are those that form a cathedral. Walk through it. Walk around it and enjoy.

Beautiful views over the heath.

There are still 14 burial mounds in the Goois nature reserve. One of these burial mounds is located here. These may not be entered as they are protected monuments. The burial mounds are the only visible remains of our ancestors and date from the Bronze Age (2000-800 BC). At that time, the Gooi was a wooded landscape. The later deforestation of the forest created the first moors here. In these early moors, people built burial mounds in honor of their deceased, in which sand and turf were layered on top of each other. These are circular burial mounds with a height of 0.5 to 1.5 meters and a diameter of 5 to 10 meters. The cremated remains were placed in bronze urns. Other additions included daggers, an axe, bronze bracelets, arrowheads and tools made of flint or a drinking cup for the afterlife. Some finds have been collected in museums such as the Hofland Geological Museum and the Goois Museum. Most finds are kept in the provincial archaeological depot in the Huis van Hilde in Castricum.
