Oisterwijkse Bossen and Vennen.
This very popular walking area is best known for its many fens, so the walking tour passes several fens. Some of the fens are of considerable size and are attractive because of their heavily wooded, rugged banks and the occurrence of small islands. After leaving the Oisterwijkse Bossen en Vennen nature reserve, the hike goes via the Klein Oisterwijk nature gate to the Kampina. In the Kampina the tour goes through the agricultural enclave of Balsvoort and along the Beerze stream. In this agricultural enclave, one of the foundations of the five farms was made visible in the landscape again in 2015. There were fields, ponds and hedgerows surrounding the buildings. If you look around carefully, these landscape elements are still recognizable in this part of the Kampina.
