Galderse Heide Boardwalk (Mastbos)

Highlight • Trail

A beautiful footpath across the heath. Not only a nice way to explore this area, but also good for nature because the heath is not trampled. It is especially beautiful here at sunset. Halfway along the path there is a bench to enjoy the view around you

Beautiful view over the Galderse Heide.

Highlight • Viewpoint

The area measures 180 ha, of which 100 ha is owned by Staatsbosbeheer, 60 ha by the municipality of Breda and 20 ha by Defense. The last part is occasionally used as a training area.

The area contained an agricultural enclave of 65 hectares that was leased by Staatsbosbeheer until 2008. In 2010, this area was returned to nature, whereby the nutrient-rich top layer was removed and the water management was adjusted, resulting in the creation of a fen again.

The area consists of heathland, partly planted with Scots pine.

In the south the area connects to the Galderse Meren, and in the north to the Mastbos. To the east of the Galderse Heide lies the river valley of the Mark.
