Table Mountain Heath

Source: Groenehartstocht

Description

The Tafelbergheide is a high heathland between Huizen and Laren of about 74 ha that is situated in the municipality of Huizen. The southern edge of the heath is located in the municipality of Blaricum. The area is managed by the Goois Nature Reserve. Southwards, on the other side of the Oude Naarderweg, the Tafelbergerheide merges into the Blaricummerheide. The heathland has different height differences, caused by the land ice at the time of the Riss ice age. The highest point is Table Mountain from which this heath owes its name. This 36.4 measuring 'hill' is one of the highest points in the province of North Holland. The name is derived from an old orientation table that was located on this slope but that is no longer there today.

Unfortunately, the heath has also disappeared and now mainly pipe litter grows. It is possible that plagging the vegetation will help to recover the heathland.
