Highlight • Lake

Experience the perfect sunrise at Voorste Goorven.
This pond in the Oisterwijk woods is a feast for the eyes with flora and fauna. Flocks of ducks, geese, and other birds all have their own little spot.

Highlight • Lake

This fen is located near Groot Speijck. The brewing vat is a dug pool. The sludge has been scooped out of the pool and lies like an embankment at the edge of the pool.
