Wortel-Kolonie Vagrants' Cemetery This historic cemetery, nestled in the woods of Wortel-Kolonie, commemorates the vagrants who stayed here between 1890 and 1940. Approximately 170 graves are numbered, some with names, and tell the story of the former charitable colony. A quiet, impressive place steeped in history and remembrance.

The Bootjesven is one of the most famous and beautiful spots in Wortel-Kolonie 🌿. 📍What is the Bootjesven? • It is a natural fen, surrounded by pine forests and heathland, in the heart of the tranquility of the Colony. • The name refers to the "boats" of peat moss that float on the water, giving the surface a fairytale-like appearance. • The fen is a vulnerable nature reserve: special plants such as cotton grass and sundew grow there, and you often find dragonflies and waterfowl there. • It is part of the Merkske Valley, a European Natura 2000 protected area. 🌿 Experience for hikers and cyclists • The Bootjesven is located along several beautiful hiking trails that start from the De Klapekster Visitor Center. • It is an ideal place to take a break and enjoy the peace and quiet and nature. • Because it is a sensitive area, walking on designated paths and not allowing dogs off the leash is important for the preservation of this unique natural environment.

You can visit the shrike at the following times: Day Opening Hours Monday Closed Tuesday–Friday 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM Saturday 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Sunday 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM Groups By appointment only

The old vagrant farm now houses the De Klapekster Visitor Center, the ideal starting point for your exploration of Wortel-Kolonie. Here, Natuurpunt (Nature Center) tells the fascinating history of the Colony of Benevolence – now a UNESCO World Heritage site – and nature awakens with fens, stately avenues, and rare fauna and flora. Come visit for educational opportunities, guided walks, or simply to reflect on the silence and beauty of this unique place.
