Thursday 25 March 2010, Venneroute route 80 ‘Wandelboek’, 8.9 km, Kampina estate, west of De Roond. The most enjoyable and interesting hike this week! Yes, the sun was shining an that helps… no, we did not Photoshop the pictures… The ‘Kampina’ nature area was previously dominated by moors and sheep. As the sheep became redundant (because artificial fertilizer was introduced) grasses and trees seized the opportunity. Now Icelandic horses and cows (Blonde d’Aquitaine) work hard to keep the area open.
The real attractiveness comes from the many fens with abundant wildlife (birds) and rare plants.
Highly recommended!
