Gees Forest Nature Reserve

Highlight • Forest

Boswachterij Gees mainly consists of deciduous forest that was planted in the 1930s. The area has grown into a beautiful nature reserve where you can walk in peace, even here on the edge.

Bridge Over the Geeserstroom

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful water area near Gees. In the summer take into account (a lot of) mosquitoes. The location is only accessible during the day and on foot.

Mepperhooilanden

Highlight • Natural

Lovely, quiet walking area. As a bird lover you can really enjoy yourself here. From marsh harrier to meadow pipit and from hawk to crested lark, with the special addition of the sea eagle.

A new area to discover!
The day started rather grey but atleast it didnt rain.
The area we started in was very inviting for birds. Lots of cows. Lots of mushrooms!
Almost no people so it was truly really nice. Great old forest and it felt so great.
Dogs are everywhere allowed on lead and in some areas also off …
