You walk along the Heidijk and from there the danger of the water cannot be seen. But the dike has been there for hundreds of years for a reason. It was built as early as 1359! Should high water threaten to flood the area, as it did in 1995, the areas south of 's-Hertogenbosch and on the outskirts of Vlijmen can be flooded. A total of 750 hectares of water storage area is involved.
You walk halfway along the route over the bluegrass meadow which is rare in the Netherlands. Because of the development in Vlijmens Ven the amount of blue grassland has doubled! It is special because it is a sparse wet grassland with a rich variety of plants. In spring you can enjoy the colorful fields here.
