The Weerterbos
The Weerterbos forms a central element in a very extensive belt of forest and heathland areas. Besides the Weerterbos proper, several traditionally differently named subareas belong to the reserve. In the northwest of the Weerterbos lies an area of open grassland. The area consists of wet and dry forests, grassland plots and small heaths.
