A bit too much water after the rain but still a nice hiking area.

December 15, 2024,meinweg, over de heide

walk across the heath, the leaves are off the trees. As a result, you can clearly see the Bosbeek between the trees. Around the Elfenmeertje and the Slenk, pruning has been done. Pines and other trees have been removed to prevent overgrowth. By keeping the area open, this is good for adders, frogs and lizards, etc.

Today I walked the second part of the Msinvennen. With an extra loop so that I also went to the Elfenmeertje and the Kombergen. Loop is not completely on komoot due to a small error. Beautiful route especially because the heather is in bloom everywhere, there were also many people on the road.

On Thursday we went to the De Meinweg nature reserve. The weather forecast had promised a little more fog than there actually was. Nevertheless, there was a slightly foggy landscape, a few birds and great moss with spore stalks to see.
