Indeed a nice spot where you can sit for a while if it is not already occupied because it is a popular spot. The fen invites you to take some beautiful photos and that is often done there. You will see this place well before you get there and it is located on the gravel path. You can park nearby and from there take beautiful cycling routes over the Strabrechtse heath and the many other beautiful paths and roads that are available in abundance. Unfortunately, the heath itself often looks dead, but there is plenty of other beauty to see. The shepherd or shepherdess regularly makes rounds across the heath with a large flock of sheep. In November at the larger fens a little further away you have a chance of spotting cranes. If it is really quiet and you are in this area very early, there is a good chance that you will see deer. But not only cyclists but also walkers can indulge themselves.

Beautiful vast heathland with natural paths. Good for cycling with normal or gravel bike tires. With a racing bike it is possible, provided you like gravel. There are sheep grazing that keep the heath free of new trees. Sometimes you also encounter them on the bike path!
