Reviews Summary

The chance to see wildlife like deer and wild cows is a significant draw, as are the ancient Wodanseiken.

"Beautiful forest for little walks (between 4-5 km). The Wodanseiken are located here, which you can see in paintings part of the Oosterbeekse School (some of which are displayed at Rijksmuseum). Cows do walk wild here but they mostly ignore you. If they don't, just yell KSSSSSHHH at them and they'll get away from you, they're just curious ☺️☺️"

"Wolfhezerheide is a beautiful forest and heath good for hours of walking in nature. You might spot deer, squirrels or, much smaller, creatures like groups of ants marching down the paths or scarabees. In summer the small creeks offer a welcome, refreshing spot to play in for the kids. Please like this review if useful. Thank you."
