Sunday 13 September 2020, Wandelroute Fazant, Abdijbossen near Hoogerheide, Province Noord-Brabant, 5 km (www.natuurmonumenten.nl)
We stayed in the neighborhood so took the opportunity to be surprised by this unique landscape…the Brabantse Wal; a natural ‘wall’ in the landscape near the Schelde. Easy, Sunday afternoon stroll but as most of the time; consider sturdy footwear, plenty sand and mud an probably fierce winds when the weather turns in this open area close to the water…. The Port of Antwerp can be seen in the distance, but apart from that you’re alone with fellow-hikers and the birds. Historians might be interested in World War 1 and 2 stories being told about this very strategic locations. All in all; recommended; nice views, a varied walk, plenty of birds to watch and the differences in height (20 meters) are remarkable – at least not artificial -for this part of The Netherlands!
