Starnumanbossen
Ruigahuizen
You will not find only neat rows of planted trees, stately avenues, and tightly maintained sandy paths here; this is a natural forest! The western part of the forest is even a forest reserve.
You will not find only neat rows of planted trees, stately avenues, and tightly maintained sandy paths here; this is a natural forest! The western part of the forest is even a forest reserve. Here nature is allowed to take its own course and there is no management.
Because of this, the forest is wild, rough, and offers adventure! You will find many whimsical old trees and dead wood. Because the subsoil contains boulder clay, it is a fairly marshy forest. You can often slither over narrow muddy winding paths and balance on tree trunk bridges over the crammed ditches.
