Wit Hollandven Viewing Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

The viewing platform is located on the edge of the Landschotschen Heide. From here you have a nice wide view over the heathland and the pond. The platform is located directly on one of the ponds.
In 2019 the ponds are not filled with water due to the drought.

This bird watching hut is called Tapsmoer. That is not an exotic bird, but a corruption of the abbot's marsh, the abbot's marsh. In the past, this area belonged to monks who extracted peat.
