Sahara - red - 11.7 km

Whoever comes here for a walk feels like they are in the desert... The Sahara was rightly voted the most beautiful walk in the country in 2018! The large, bright blue water body appears like a mirage in the sand plain. The fresh water attracts plenty of water birds. The surrounding pine forests and a few architectural masterpieces nearby make this a very special walk. Be sure to climb the unique observation tower for a stunning view over National Park Bosland. For children, there is a mysterious play forest with natural play elements made of willow branches, created by artist Will Beckers. Our tips: Bring a picnic and enjoy lunch at the playful picnic tables. Zeno the Sand Beetle takes the children on an adventure in the sand! Between March 15 and October 15, you can borrow a free hammock at the reception of the event hall De Soeverein: hang it on a tree and just relax! Tip with children!
