In the heart of the Brabant landscape lies a beautiful heathland where ancient juniper bushes take center stage. These irregularly shaped, dark green shrubs stand out strikingly against the purple heather and open sand. They are living monuments: some specimens are hundreds of years old and define the character of this natural area. Narrow paths wind between the junipers, leading hikers past open heathland, small fens, and forest edges. The area exudes tranquility and has an almost timeless atmosphere. Birds such as the European stonechat and woodlark feel at home here, while in summer the heather blooms profusely, transforming the landscape into a blaze of color. This heathland is not only beautiful but also exceptionally valuable: juniper is a protected species and only occurs so abundantly in a few places in the Netherlands.

Located in the heart of the Overloon Dunes, Schaartven is a remarkably clear fen surrounded by forest and heathland. Its water is fed by rain and groundwater, making it a sensitive nature reserve. The area surrounding the fen is a popular spot for dragonflies, frogs, and waterfowl, adding to the vibrancy of this tranquil landscape. The contrast between the open water and the surrounding sand dunes creates a unique atmosphere. Hikers experience a blend of tranquility, expansive views, and intimate woodland paths. Especially in the early morning or at sunset, Schaartven has an almost picturesque appearance.
