PHOTO WALK OISTERWIJKSE VENNEN

ROUTE 1

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.

The route of this hike begins at the most famous fens, the Voorste Goorven. Upon arrival, you immediately recognize the image from the photos. In the morning the ducks and geese are still silently bobbing on the water. As soon as the first sunrays shine through the trees the fens come alive. We walk around the fens to the Achterste Goorven and from there we walk along another fens. Go wild here with your telephoto lens, your wide-angle lens and even your macro because between all the damp bushes there are plenty of beautiful insects to be found.

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?
