Description

In the Polygoonbos it is nice to walk along the beautiful avenues. Every now and then you walk through a piece of heathland. You can hear and occasionally see quite a few birds. The Black Woodpecker can be heard from far away and occasionally seen. European Honey-buzzard circles in the sky.
