The Liefstinghsbroek is a remnant of the primeval forests of Westerwolde and one of the oldest forests in the Netherlands. The forest is part of the Natura 2000 list drawn up by the European Union. Because it is a humid forest, or brook forest, you will encounter special plants, animals and trees that are more than 200 years old. They say that the rare wood anemone can still be seen here. To give this primeval forest and its inhabitants as much rest as possible, the area can only be visited under the guidance of Natuurmonumenten. Natuurmonumenten occasionally organizes excursions on request. You can cycle and walk along the forest and get a taste of the mighty oak and beech trees.
