Schrieversheide Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

Price/performance o.k. .
Ideal starting or ending point for hikes. Next to a large terrace with a view over the heath, the self-service restaurant mainly offers pancakes and simple dishes.

Roode Beek (Brunssummerheide)

Highlight • River

Off the main cycle paths, I liked the many white sand, the water and the footbridge over the small watercourse. Scenic top. The paths around were absolutely not suitable for trekking bikes.

Directly on the German-Dutch border is a beautiful piece of earth - the Brunssummerheide. Pine forests, white sandy areas and heather as far as the eye can see, make the heart of a nature lover beat faster!

Walked through the Brunssummerheide again after a long time. I still think the deforestation is terrible. Dead grey land and the paths have been moved so that the map is no longer accurate. Fortunately, on this stretch it only affects a small part behind the lake.

Today in a faster step through the heath. I think it's impossible to have walked all the paths there. Even the map does not show all of them. A cross motorcyclist who raced through the sandy landscape and frightened people and animals was very inappropriate in the nature reserve.
