Rabatts are elongated embankments located between ditches. The soil from the ditches is used to raise the rabat. It is not known exactly when forestry on rebates was first used, but the method was already mentioned in 1799.

Today we took another short walk from Boerdonk. Nice and close to us 🏡 Het Hurkske remains a beautiful area.

This afternoon a short walk in our neighboring village Erp. A beautiful area for long and short walks. Beautiful paths and a few fens are hidden here. At the forest ranger you can still have a nice cup of coffee.
