Mini-camping Le Silence in De Moer
06 May 2026
Through winding country roads I drive into De Moer. The window of my car is ajar and the singing of birds blows inside. What a tranquility and space. When I turn onto the grounds of mini-camping Le Silence in De Moer and get out of the car, I stand still for a moment. Silence. No traffic, no crowds. Only birdsong and somewhere in the distance the mooing of a cow. As far as I can see I see greenery and space. By Laura van der Wal
