2022 Experience Nature- Leuvenumse Forest - Miniature Sheet

Leuvenum Woods, Hulshorsterzand and Leuvenhorst estate together form the Leuvenum Woods nature reserve. This contiguous area is located in the north-western part of the Veluwe in the province of Gelderland. Leuvenum Woods have been owned by Natuurmonumenten for over 100 years, while the other areas came into the possession of Natuurmonumenten later. The three areas together cover about 2,300 hectares and consist mainly of forests and a smaller part of heathland and sand drifts. There are beautiful old deciduous forests along the Hierdensche and Leuvenum Brook, with the longest brook running 17km through the Veluwe. In marshy spots, there are groves with black alders, willows and elms.
