Resterheide - orange - 6,0 km

Let yourself be surprised by the versatile Resterheide: nature, history, and adventure. Explore the orange hiking route and experience the best of Resterheide!

Start your journey along the serene fishing pond and climb the tall viewing tower for a panoramic view over the water. Be sure to bring your binoculars to spot the many water birds.

Then dive into the woodland and hike along a varied landscape with open fields and wooded edges. It is hard to imagine that just two generations ago, only heathland and wasteland could be found here.

Must-see along the way

The Zwart Water: Take a small detour to the vantage point at the source area of the Zwarte Beek. This is one of the most unique spots in Resterheide!

Variety is key

Enjoy ponds, coniferous and deciduous woods, natural fields, and typical agricultural landscapes as you explore the hiking paths.
