Zoom-Kalmthoutse Heide National Park
Area of many birds
The Dutch section of the park is quieter than the Belgian section, but the nature is no less beautiful. The Zoom-Kalmthoutse Heide possesses both wet and dry heath. Especially bird lovers will have a great time here. The hawk, falcon, stonechat, tree pipit and nightjar are prevalent in this area. The Zoom-Kalmthoutse Heide is also the area where you can spot all of the different Dutch woodpecker species.
Cycling on the heath
The Zoom-Kalmthoutse Heide National Park is a very nice area for cycling and hiking. The visitor center De Vroente will be able to supply you with tours, exhibitions, excursions and other information to help you to further familiarize yourself with the area. Children of 13 to 17 years have been coming together for the Junior Ranger Camp for several years. During this week they learn about the flora and fauna around them.
