Mountain biking

You cycle through the heart of a beautiful landscape known for its diverse flora and fauna. The heathlands are an important habitat for various animal species, and you can often spot hares, deer and numerous birds along the way.

Hiking

The heath between Elspeet and Vierhouten is very special. When you look around, you will regularly see a striking shape of the hills. These shapes of the hills were not caused by push-up by the land ice, but by meltwater between blocks of ice. Because the deposition of sediment was faster than the melting of the ice blocks, thick layers of sand and gravel formed around and over the ice blocks. When the ice finally melted, a very irregular terrain remained, which was later referred to as a kame terrace.
