Mookerheide

Today, we went for a walk on the famous (?) Mookerheide. Its fame apparantly comes from the Mookerheide Battle, which took place in 1574, between the Spanish and the Dutch. Also during the 80-year War and during WWII, the Mookerheide was the background of quite some fighting. Now, it is a small but pretty nature area in the northern tip of the province of Limburg. We even saw some of the wisents (European bisons) that live there.

Mom, I don't think the bison read the sign that said we should stay at a safe, 25-yard distance ... !

Go for a walk anywhere and they will find a tree to climb in!
