"Beautiful nature reserve in Reeshof. Lots of greenery and a variety of animal species can be found. There are a lot of Canada geese in the spring."

"Beautifully landscaped, but anything but a nature reserve. It's far too small for that, and there's also development everywhere. The Veluwe is a reserve. This is a nature reserve; some greenery with water and paths constructed and dug in a residential area. The Scottish Highlanders that roam here and there are magnificent."
