Mookerheide

The Mookerheide is a diverse nature reserve featuring vast heathlands, dense forests, and a rich history. Over the centuries, this area played a significant role in various battles, including the Eighty Years’ War and World War II. Two historic fortifications still stand as reminders of this remarkable past.

Today, the Mookerheide is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists who want to enjoy peace, open space, and nature. Along the way, there are plenty of opportunities to spot rare birds, such as various species of woodpeckers. As evening falls, the distinctive nightjar can often be heard.
