PHOTO WALK OISTERWIJKSE VENNEN

ROUTE 2

Created after the last ice age and still unique and beautiful to this day, the Oisterwijkse Vennen. Do you know the area? Have you ever noticed that the fens are elongated in a southwest-northeast direction. So this is how it was created by the wind direction during the aforementioned ice age. All facts and figures, but what are we going to do during this photo walk? Because it is a fairly large nature reserve, we can't fit all known fens into just 2.5 hours of photo walk. Therefore we have two routes.

This route is somewhat less frequented by photographers but also certainly not unknown. We start on the other side of the Fens and first pass the Brandven and Diaconieven. Here you have the opportunity to walk all the way around the ponds. Pay attention because the light here changes very quickly. Don't focus on just the trees on the islands. We decide whether we have time to walk to the Kolkven or to enjoy the woods around the aforementioned fens.

DID YOU KNOW

The Oisterwijk Woods and Fens is perhaps the most famous nature reserve in the Province of North Brabant and we understand that very well! With as many as 80 fens, it is a very popular area with photographers. No doubt you have already seen the pictures of the Voorste Goorven! Most of the fens in this nature reserve were created after the last ice age. The polar winds blew sand up into mounds, which can still be clearly seen in the forest today. Behind the hills, the blown-out bowls filled with rainwater, creating dozens of fens. A layer of loam in the soil prevents the water from sinking. An exception is the Kolkven, which was created by the swirling waters of an old river. Enough about the history, time to explore the area yourself! Will you join us?
