Ullingse Bergen.
The Sint Anthonis forest is originally a production forest that has been transformed by years of management into a very attractive forest area with a centrally located large open heathland the Ullingse Bergen. Scottish highlanders and sheep keep the area open in the heathland but also in a part of the forest. The hike comes in the Ullingse Bergen along a sheepfold with often the herd of sheep in the immediate vicinity.
