Horsterwold

The 37 km2 Hortserwold is known as the largest deciduous forest in the Netherlands. But already on this first forest path it turns out that this is not entirely correct: between hazel, oak, alder and beech trees there are dozens of norway spruces. But that variety of wood species just creates a great diversity of mushrooms. What also helps is that the soil here is very calcareous, due to the many shells in the soil.' The Horsterwold is a paradise for mushroom lovers. You will find 1100 species in the Horsterwold. The Dutch Mycological Society and the mushroom working group of Flevoland regularly spend time here in the forest.
